Human Resources committee reclassifies facilities director to deputy county administrator; board informed
Summary
The Human Resources, Finance and Property Committee approved reclassification of the facilities and capital management director to a deputy county administrator role; committee told the board the move is within the same pay grade and is intended to split deputy responsibilities and create a quasi-public-works supervisory arrangement.
The Human Resources, Finance and Property Committee approved reclassifying the facilities and capital management director to a deputy county administrator position and the committee informed the full Marathon County Board of Supervisors about the change at the June 24 organizational meeting.
Supervisor Robinson told the board the reclassification keeps the position in the same pay grade, so the committee concluded there are no direct cost implications. The committee said the change will create two deputy county administrator positions to share workloads and help implement the county’s work plan.
Robinson described the operational shift in responsibilities: the reclassified director will oversee a quasi‑public‑works arrangement that groups highway, parks and recreation, forestry, solid waste, and facilities and capital management under one supervisory umbrella. Robinson said the administrator had circulated an explanatory email to supervisors several weeks earlier.
The committee used its reclassification authority to approve the change; the board was updated during standing committee reports and no formal board-level rejection or amendment was recorded during the meeting.
Next steps include administrative implementation of the new title and duties and internal updates to reporting lines, per committee direction. No budget vote or ordinance change was recorded in the meeting transcript.
