The county will receive funds for the emergency management agency director’s salary.
Marshall County EMA Director Clyde Avery asked the county council this week for permission to apply for the 2016 performance grant. Avery explained that the grant will pay for half of his salary from last year in the amount of $22,000. It’s an annual grant that the county receives every year as Avery qualifies for certain requirements during the year. The council approved the request and complimented him on his continued efforts as head of the EMA.
Clerk Deb Vandemark asked the council to waive the probationary pay and period for a new full-time employee who was hired last week. The employee worked in the clerk’s office from 2003 to 2013 and as a part-time employee since Sept. 2016. The council approved the request.
