County to reallocate health department positions to align grant and general-fund staffing

Sedgwick County staff briefed the commission on a personnel reallocation within the health department intended to align staff positions with funding sources and improve grant-management reporting.

"This reallocation is more of a straightening up to make sure that we're accurately and honestly reporting what these individuals do," a staff member said. Staff explained that some positions are fully general-funded, some are fully grant-funded, and several are combined or split between grant and general funds; the reallocation shifts funding designations to match actual duties and grant accounting requirements.

Staff characterized the item as an administrative housekeeping step to improve grant management and did not indicate a change in headcount. Commissioners did not record questions or a formal vote in the provided transcript excerpt.
