The Marshall County Council members reviewed amendments to three different positions within the Marshall County Highway Department.
Human Resources Administrator Ann Anglin said the full-time positions of area leader, mechanic and heavy equipment operator will be made part-time as well, as recommended by Highway Superintendent Jason Peters.
“We’re having a hard time getting the full-time positions so he wanted to go and put it as a part-time position just in case there are people that would want to work part-time for extra income. They currently have a job, but they just want to work part-time. That was a thing he thought about doing,” said Anglin.
Peters said it was all about planning ahead.
Peters commented, “If we have a few COVID cases and are out two weeks, or a major snow storm and a couple of guys would potentially come in and work part-time, it would fit right in to planning ahead.”
He said two full-time positions were previously posted for about three months that remain unfilled.
Councilman Health Thornton commented that the Personnel Committee gave a favorable recommendation toward the amendment.
The council members approved the amendments with unanimous vote.
