After passing a resolution putting limits on hiring throughout the county, the Ellis County Commission will hear their first two requests to fill open positions at Monday night’s meeting.

According to County Administrator Greg Sund’s memo to the commission, the county’s accounting manager recently submitted her resignation to Treasurer Ann Pfeifer.

The commission will discuss promoting an employee from within the Treasurer’s office to fill the open position and hire a person to fill that vacancy.

The Road and Bridge department will also address the commission about hiring a mechanic.

The commission recently passed a resolution stating department heads must justify to the county administrator and county commission the need to fill any vacancies.

The commission will also appoint a group of volunteers to the Ellis County Council on Aging. The county reviews applications for funding from senior groups in the county.

Monday’s meeting is at 5 p.m. in the basement meeting room of the Administrative Building, 718 Main.
