RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve the extension of extra help hours for Bridget Steeves, Recordable document Examiner I, to a maximum of 1200 hours per Humboldt County Salary Resolution, Section 7 (4/5 vote required).

SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund - Clerk Recorder (Budget Unit 271)
