Meeting Minutes
August 2, 2018
The special meeting was called to order at 4:01 p.m., in the Mason County Building 1, Commission
Chambers, at 411 N. 5th Street, Shelton, WA by Chairperson Byrd.
Attendance: B. Dean Byrd, Chair; Brian Kelly, Vice-Chair; and Matthew Davis, Commissioner
Others: Chief Tami Beyer; Chief Ryan Spurling; Boston Lynch; Chief Kevin Hanson; Chief Theresia Ehrich;
Dawn Twiddy, HR Manager and Becky Rogers, Chief Examiner
Business:
A. Approval of changes to the Finance Manager position description, including position title
change to Sheriff's Office Finance Manager.
Chief Spurling noted they took the position description for Public Works Finance Manger,
which is similar to the Sheriff's Office Finance Manager. They wanted to match it so there
is a consistency in different offices within the County.
The position description, which was circulated via email for the meeting, had suggested
changes noted in red. Some text had strikeout to eliminate verbiage.
On page 3, under the Education and Experience, it was recommended to delete the last
bullet, as it is somewhat redundant to the first sentence.
Chief Spurling noted that there are scriveners errors which will be shared with the Chief
Examiner.
Cmmr. Kelly/Davis moved and seconded to approve the changes, which had been
noted in red and circulated for the position description for Sheriff's Office Finance
Manager, in addition to the following change:
Top of Page 3, Education and Experience: eliminate the last bullet "Professional
accounting or auditing experience may substitute for education on a year for year
basis" as it is similar to the sentence following the heading: "EDUCATION AND
EXPERIENCE. Any equivalent combination of education and experience, which
provides the applicant with the knowledge, skills, and abilities, required to perform
the job."
Motion carried unanimously.
