(Cass Co.) After a lengthy discussion this morning, the Cass County Board of Supervisors approved promoting three hourly employees in the Treasurer’s Office to Deputy status.
Treasurer Tracey Marshall proposed promoting Stacy Mueller, Celeste Burroughs, and Jordan Liddell to Deputy status at 80-percent of her salary.
The Supervisors asked if these three individuals are promoted, and are able to do Marshall’s job when she is gone, then why isn’t the office open.
Supervisor Steve Baier asked Marshall if her employees have demonstrated that they are qualified.
Supervisor Mark O’Brien asked Marshall if she would consider going to 75-percent or her salary?
A motion was put on the table to go ahead and approve the three hourly employees move to Deputy status at 80-percent of the Treasurer’s salary, but that motion failed for a lack of a second.
Tracey Marshall then agreed to move to 75-percent and a motion was approved by the Board. These employees were each recently hired at $18 per hour, which means this would be a $5.50 per hour raise.
Stracey Mueller will be the Driver’s License Deputy; Celeste Burroughs the Motor Vehicle Deputy; and Jordan Liddell the Tax Deputy. The Supervisors also officially approved the hiring of another employee for the office whose salary they approved last week.
Stacy Mueller wanted to note that they do have a door unlocked at the Treasurer’s Office and she said the notion that they are not open is not true.
The Supervisors then approved the authorization for the Treasurer’s Office to conduct investment transactions.
