Summary
The Board of Supervisors authorized posting and hiring to backfill a collections assistant position in the county attorney’s office, waiving the hiring freeze for the vacancy expected after Sept. 26, 2025.
The Warren County Board of Supervisors voted Aug. 18, 2025, to allow the county attorney’s office to backfill a collections assistant position and to approve posting and hiring despite a county hiring freeze.
Council/agenda materials show the position becomes vacant Sept. 26, 2025, and the county attorney’s office requested permission to post and begin interviews now so a replacement could start after that date. Jamie, representing the county attorney’s office, told the board the collections team currently included one staff member plus the attorney and that the office handles collections work for multiple counties in the region.
A supervisor moved to backfill the position and the board approved the request by roll-call vote. The board and the county attorney’s office noted that portions of the position’s pay were funded from collections or fine funds in prior budgets.
The board’s decision authorizes recruitment and hiring activity; the office indicated it does not expect the new hire to begin until after the current employee’s Sept. 26 separation date.
