When it comes to the hiring policy of county government, each department has it’s own.
Seventh district county commissioner Bruce Malone raised the issue last Monday night, March 25th during the monthly county commission meeting.

“I have a question. I know the sheriff’s department has rules and regulations and the school board has rules and regulations about who they can and can’t hire. I was wondering if there is any county wide policy that prohibits any elected official from knowingly hiring convicted felons, say of domestic violence, theft, or drug use. Any kind of convictions like that. Is there a county wide personnel policy,” asked Malone?
“Each office has their own personnel policies. I know the county mayor’s office usually represents the library, landfill, and election commission but each office, elected officials can have their own personnel policy,” answered County Mayor Tim Stribling.
That was all the discussion on that subject during the meeting. The county commission took no action.
