3. Request Approval of Step Placement for a Healthcare Unit Eligibility Worker

Board of Commissioners Meeting · 2026-06-16 · agenda_item

The Clay County Board of Commissioners is reviewing a request to approve the step placement for an internal candidate for an Eligibility Worker position in the Healthcare Unit. This position was previously approved for replacement due to a vacancy. The selected candidate has nearly ten years of prior healthcare eligibility experience and previously held this same classification. Approval of this request will allow the department to finalize staffing transitions, filling the Eligibility Worker role and subsequent vacancies created by internal movements. This process involves filling the Eligibility Worker position, a Child Support Officer vacancy, and a fraud investigator position. The overall staffing transition is projected to result in a net savings of $6,234. This item is currently under review and pending approval by the Board of Commissioners. The work involves finalizing internal hiring processes and onboarding the selected candidate, which will restore staffing capacity and reduce workload impacts. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in future opportunities related to staffing transitions and administrative support should monitor this process as it moves toward final approval.
