County and regional DAP staff seek clarity on MOU, payroll and vehicle transfers
County supervisors and staff spent a substantial portion of their meeting clarifying a memorandum of understanding and handoff for a regional disability access position known in the meeting as Sarah, including which agency provides supervision, payroll treatment, reimbursement and how regional vehicles will be reassigned.

Staff said the county has not yet obtained a signed copy of the MOU and urged getting that signature as the first step. “We need that signed and with us just because, like, it's just You're talking about the M O U,” a staff member said, urging a final signature to document agreed responsibilities.

The conversation covered who signs Sarah’s timesheets and who provides day‑to‑day supervision. Several participants said payroll and benefits would remain the county’s responsibility while mileage, travel and technology expenses could be paid centrally by the regional program (DAP) and be reimbursed to the county. “Expenses such as office supplies, technology, travel costs, etcetera, can be centralized, will be paid directly by the DAP. So okay. Yep. That's what it says in there,” a participant summarized.

Staff and supervisors also discussed vehicles currently in local possession and how title transfers would be handled. Don Framick (property lead) told staff that titles would be transferred and that vehicles could be placed where the hiring manager needs them most, subject to ongoing needs assessments.

Officials asked for written confirmation of these points and named contacts for regional supervision. Supervisors advised that staff prepare clear checklists for time-sheet sign‑off and to define who staff should contact about IT support, vehicle pickup and other recurring operational issues. The board asked county staff to secure a signed MOU and to return with the finalized details.

No formal policy change was adopted at the meeting; the board directed staff to obtain the signed agreement and to work with regional partners to clarify supervision, reimbursements and IT support.
