Sheriff-elect Aaron Rovenstine's salary was approved by the Kosciusko County Council Monday at $70,000.
Rovenstine met with Human Resource Director Ron Robinson and county council members Jim Tranter, Brad Tandy and John Kinsey Friday to negotiate the contract. Robinson and the three councilman then reported back to the council Monday about the agreement.
"That could be negotiated at a later time, but that would have to be decided by the council at a later time," Tranter said.
He also said, "(Rovenstine) has signed the contract. He was very comfortable with this."
The contract was approved by councilmen Tranter, Tandy, Kathryn Teel, Harold Jones and Kinsey. Councilmen Tom Anglin and Lewis Bertsch were not present at the meeting.
In other business, the county commissioners requested that the council approve and fund a new county position. Commissioner Eddie Creighton proposed the position to the council on behalf of the three commissioners.
The position will be the special projects coordinator. The coordinator will work with the GIS project to help get it back on track, Creighton said, and will also come under the commissioner's responsibility.
Other duties of the new position will include working on parts of the reassessment, helping implement public access to county data, developing guidelines for the council on the fiscal impact of abatement, and working in conjunction with the systems administrator to ensure Y2K compliance as well as several other duties.
"Y2K is a challenge and I don't think anyone knows how big it will be until it hits us," Creighton told the council.
The position is only a one-year position with the possibility of renewal, Creighton said.
The council approved the position and set the salary at $28,000. The salary was based on the wage structure approved by the council Thursday.
"This job description falls within the range of that $28,000 wage structure," Tranter said.
Jones said, "Just from what I'm looking at here, we wouldn't be able to hire him for that. It's on the low end."
The council asked Robinson if he was comfortable with that figure based on the wage structure. He said he was and the council approved the new position.
In final business, council vice president Brad Tandy was elected president for 1999 and councilman president Tranter was elected vice president.
"These two gentlemen have worked hard on the wage structure," Jones said after the council approved switching the positions. [[In-content Ad]]
