0 GOOK 22 PAGE 303 0 The Board considered a request from the Lee County Board of Health to adjust salary grades for Environmental Health Specialist positions. It was noted there are only two certified Environmental Health Specialists currently employed, with one of those being the supervisor. Two Interns have been hired but it will take two years for them to obtain their full certification. It was noted that over the last four years the Department has lost several interns and experienced employees to neighboring counties due to pay. County Manager John Crumpton presented a recommendation from the Board of Health asking that pay grades for Environmental Health Specialist be increased from Grade 68 to Grade 71 and the Environmental Health Supervisor be increased from Grade 71 to Grade 74. After some discussion, Commissioner Reives moved to approve the request from the Lee County Board of Health to increase the Environmental Health positions as requested above. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Kelly, Lemmond, Paschal, Quiggle, Reives, and Shook Nay: None Absent: Brown The Vice-Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously.
