During the Jan. 15 meeting of the CNHD, the board voted to restructure the administrator position after previous hiring efforts were unsuccessful.
The board removed the previously proposed “administrator/doctor” combined role and instead adopted a revised organizational structure.
At that same meeting, the board approved increasing the administrator pay scale from Grade 77 to Grade 85 in an effort to improve recruitment. The board also authorized an expedited hiring process allowing the chair to oversee advertising, screening and interviews, and to negotiate with a candidate up to Step 10 before returning the selection to the full board for ratification.
The administrator position carries an annual salary range of approximately $127,000 to $170,000 under the adopted Grade 85 scale. The Grade 77 range was $104,228 to $140,233.
Ernst has worked in Churchill County Social Services since 2003 and has been involved in regional coordination efforts during the formation of the rural health district. The Board of Health is expected to formally ratify the appointment at an upcoming meeting.
The CNHD Board of Health’s next scheduled meeting is March 4 at 3 p.m.
