Meeting Minutes
April 20, 2023
The regular meeting was called to order at 5:00 p.m. by Chairperson Sue Ickes.
Attendance: Sue Ickes, Chair Mark Nault, Vice-Chair; and William Kendrick,
Commissioner
Others: Tami Beyer, Kevin Hanson, Keli Dunlap, and Becky Rogers.
Business:
1. Approval of Minutes: March 16, 2023, regular meeting minutes
Cmmrs. Nault/Ickes moved and seconded to approve the March 16, 2023, regular meeting minutes.
Motion carried unanimously.
2. Chief Examiner Update
2.1. Position Tracking - 16 vacant funded positions: Community Service Officer-1,
Corrections Deputy-6, Deputy Sheriff-5, Evidence Technician-1, and Support
Specialist-3
2.2. Approval of reallocating a Jail Support Specialist position to a Community
Service Officer position.
Chief Hanson presented the proposal to reallocate a Support Specialist (SS)
position in the Jail to a non-commissioned Community Service Officer (CSO)
position. The intent is to supplement the existing Corrections staff without
hiring fully commissioned Corrections Deputies. The reallocated position
would primarily be assigned to booking related duties and the existing duties
associated with the SS2 position, which is held by Keli Dunlap. Currently,
there are two Support Specialist (SS) positions in the Jail, SS1 and SS2. The
intent is to eliminate the SS2 position and reallocate that position to a CSO. It
is an intermediate position between being a full CSO and a commissioned
custody officer. They will be able to Y-rate the SS2 salary which exceeds the
top CSO pay. The SS2 position would take a pay freeze until the CSO position
salary catches up.
The reallocation proposal will need to go to the County Commissioners for
approval.
The Board members discussed the reallocation request briefly.
Chief Beyer clarified that the reallocation would eliminate a SS2 position,
reducing the number of Support Specialist positions from the cumulative total
of staff and reallocating would add one Community Service Officer position.
Cmmrs. Nault/Ickes moved and seconded to approve reallocating a Support Specialist 2 position
to a Community Service Officer position. Motion carried unanimously.

Community Service Officer position. Motion carried unanimously.
3. Sheriff's Office Update
3.1. Corrections - There are six vacant positions. One staff person is in the final
