The central topic of the meeting was the appointment of a new County Treasurer. The board considered an internal candidate, Sti, who has a background in finance and relevant work experience. Sti has been involved in training for the courthouse’s new accounting platform. The board discussed starting her at a salary level initially slated for January 1, 2024, to reflect her dual responsibilities as she transitions from her current role while continuing to assist with Clerk of Court Recorder duties until a replacement is found. Board members expressed their support for her appointment, noting her compatibility with the team and her commitment to the county.

The meeting also addressed the vacancy left by Sti’s new role, as the Clerk of Court Recorder position would need to be filled. Plans were made to advertise the opening in local newspapers and on social media. The board acknowledged the necessity of filling this role promptly to maintain operational efficiency at the courthouse.
