HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT
The Highway Superintendent is the head of
the highway department and has general control over the location,
relocation, construction, reconstruction, repair and maintenance of the
county road system, including county roads, bridges and ferries, but not
roads and bridges under the supervision of the state Department of
Transportation. However, counties which have private acts, such as
Hickman, providing for popularly elected road commissioners which have
general control over location, construction and maintenance of county
roads remain under their private act concerning these matters.
The Highway Superintendent may employ a
qualified secretary and other office personnel necessary to handle
correspondence, maintain accurate records of receipts and expenditures,
equipment, supplies, materials, maintenance performed, and other items
necessary to operate the highway department. He/She also determines the
total number of employees, personnel policy and work hours, job
classifications, and policies and wages within the classifications. The
compensation established should be consistent with pay in similar services
in the county and surrounding area. In addition, the wages must comply
with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act regarding minimum wage and
overtime compensation.
