County Commission reorganizes Lawrence County offices
The Lawrence County Salary Board held a special session and created a full time court administration secretary post while abolishing two part time secretaries. They reset the adult probation office manager base pay to 39000 once filled. Mental Health Developmental Services director Joseph Venasco had his salary reduced by 5000 to reflect dropping a dual role with Children and Youth Services. A new full time fiscal officer position was created in MHDS, with pay per the AFSCME Local 2902 contract, while one fiscal slot remains vacant and a third officer post will be filled to yield two fiscal officers. John Carran left a fiscal post earlier. Venasco said hiring for the new fiscal officer will be posted.
