Board agrees to split 0.5 field‑tech position between assessor and planning

Board members discussed a proposed 0.5 FTE field technician that had not yet been included in the budget worksheet. One member said the county had given permission to split the position 0.5/0.5 between the assessor and planning departments, and the chair noted the employee will likely spend more time with the assessor. The board asked that the staff member keep timesheets so year-end allocations can be reconciled.
