Employment agreements approved by board

A number of employment agreements were approved this week by the St. Joseph County Board of Commissioners.
Cathleen Carpenter, Dawn Gest, Alex Milliman, Heather Teadt and Nancy Gamble will serve as Juvenile Day Treatment monitors for $14 an hour through May 30.
In a separate personnel matter, Kimberly Jent was hired as COA home-care aide at a rate of $10.70 an hour.
Additionally, commissioners approved a one-year agreement with county administrator Pat Yoder, as his one-year contract for 2014 expired Dec. 31.
A 2015 salary for Yoder is likely to be established during next Wednesday’s executive committee meeting, based on a consensus commissioners reached Tuesday.
His 2014 salary was about $105,000.
