Churchill County Commissioners met Wednesday in an emergency meeting to fill three positions under an immediate need to address issues that have arisen due to the COVID pandemic, according to Ben Shawcroft, Civil Deputy District Attorney.
Human Resources Director, Geof Stark, explained that the county has been recruiting to fill the position of Public Health Nurse and have had a limited number of qualified candidates apply. Raylene Stiehl has applied and stands out among the candidates. “Because of her background and experience,” said Stark, “and because of the lack of qualified candidates and the need to get someone hired sooner rather than later, the county is requesting to put her at Step 12 on the pay range, and that has to come before the commissioners.”
Appointment of a new hire at an advanced pay step requires approval by the county commissioners.
The Public Health Nurse position at Step 1 pays $65,395, and at Step 12 will pay $85,841.
Additionally, commissioners added two full-time office specialists for the Social Services Department to help with duties associated with the health department. The office specialists will be paid $35,150 each, for a total addition of $72,300.
