(KNZA)--The chairman of the Doniphan County Commission is proposing the creation of a new county position.

During Monday’s meeting, Tad Geiger presented Commissioners with a job description for the creation of a road director’s position.

As part of a restructuring plan to more efficiently and effectively operate the road department, Geiger suggested hiring a road director to serve as administrator over the department, with two working road foremen. One of the foremen would oversee the first road district and the other would oversee the second and third road districts.

Action on the proposal was tabled until the Commission’s May 13 meeting.

Geiger also suggested the adoption of a resolution making termination of county officials, other then elected, subject to approval of the county commission.

Action on the proposed resolution was tabled until the May 13 meeting.

Commissioners unanimously approved a motion by Gieger to increase the base pay and starting wage for road department employees to $13.50 an hour with a CDL license. Road employees without a CDL will be hired at the regular starting wage of $10.75 an hour, effective June 1.
