a) Approval to Replace Full-Time LPN Due to Status Change

Board of Commissioners Meeting · 2026-07-14 · agenda_item

Clay County is seeking approval to hire a full-time Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) for the Withdrawal Management/Detox department. This position became available due to a current full-time LPN transitioning to a variable hour role. The county plans to advertise for the new LPN position as soon as it is approved. This is a budgeted position for 2026, with costs covered by the existing budget. The hiring process will involve advertising, selection, and onboarding of the new LPN. This opportunity is early in the planning stages, as the approval is still pending. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to connect with the county to understand potential needs as the process moves forward, as work related to staffing and onboarding may arise.
