The Ellis County Commission will continue its discussions into hiring practices within county departments at Monday evening’s meeting.

The commission will discuss a resolution stating any unfilled position that was open or unfilled before March 25 will remain opened and then removed from the 2016 budget unless the department head can convince the county administrator and the county commission the position is necessary.

The commission will also canvass the April 7 election.
