past 3 months they have had an exceptional intern who he would like to
extend a temporary offer of employment so he can assist the department

be on an extended vacation and he would like to use the savings of the
Web Developer vacant position and offer a temporary position to Gabe
Dehaven, Intern for IT. He stated that Gabe has been working with Doug
Fessler, Network Administrator on the fiber project and has been a quick
learner and a great worker. Chairman O’Brien questioned if Mr. Dehaven
was capable of the Web Developer position. Mr. Goeben explained that
they hope to see during this temporary time frame but he feels he could
learn the position easily.
Commissioner Jewell stated that he was okay with a 90 day temporary
position and then re-visit at the end of 90 days. Lisa Young, HR
