Greene County commissioners acted on numerous personnel matters at a salary board meeting June 21, including promoting Stacey Courtwright from acting director of Children and Youth Services to the agency’s permanent director.

Courtwright, who served as an administrator in county CYS since July 2013, will be paid $58,091. She has been acting director of CYS since last June when the commissioners separated CYS from the Department of Human Services.

The board also promoted CYS caseworker manager Jessica Sphar to the position of deputy administrator at a salary of $50,183.

The board approved a temporary pay increase for Karen Bennett, human resources administrator, for assuming the duties of the drug and alcohol director when the position was vacant. The action temporarily increased her pay from $87,679 to $92,063.

In other action, the board:

  • Promoted Jerad Cline to the new management position of captain of the guard at the county jail. He will be paid $21.22 an hour.
  • Accepted the resignation of victim/witness coordinator Cora Mitchell in the district’s attorney’s office.
  • Transferred Sarah Smith, the county’s veteran’s affairs coordinator, to the victim/witness coordinator’s position at a salary of $35,000.
  • Named Kathy Cipcic, administrative assistant in veterans’ affairs, to the position of acting veteran’s affairs director at a salary of $44,793.

During the regular commissioner’s meeting earlier in the day, the commissioners approved a $15,000 allocation to the Greene County Historical Society.

They also approved a $27,400 change order to Mariani and Richards Inc. which is repairing the brick façade on the Fort Jackson Building, and a $18,810 change order to Morgan Excavating, a contractor on the airport access road and parking lot project.
