Johnson County Lifts Hiring Freeze for Attorney’s Office

Johnson County’s Commissioners voted to approve a temporary lift of the county’s hiring freeze at the request of County Attorney Tucker Ruby.

Commission Chair Bill Novotny explained the need for the request.

Johnson County has had a hiring freeze in place for a number of years due to reduced revenue and dealing with tighter budgets.

Each department head or elected official is required to officially make a request before the county commission for their approval to hire an employee.
