Board confirms Michael Larkin as county administrator; approves several committee appointments
Summary
The board confirmed Michael Larkin as Sawyer County administrator and approved appointments to the Land and Water Conservation Committee and the Northwest Regional Economic Development Fund Administrative Committee.
The Sawyer County Board confirmed Michael Larkin as county administrator by voice vote. The nomination had been recommended by the Administrative Committee and the board voted to confirm; the board congratulated Larkin, who said he was honored and looked forward to serving.
The board also approved several appointments: Allison John Jack (appointed to the Land, Water and Forestry/Conservation committee as the member engaged in agriculture under Wisconsin statute), and Mike Markgren (appointed to the Northwest Regional Economic Development Fund Administrative Committee/Northwest Regional Planning). Each appointment was made by motion and approved by voice votes.
Why it matters: The administrator confirmation fills a top county executive post and appointments place representatives on committees that handle land and water, conservation and regional economic development—areas that coordinate permits, grants and regional planning.
Next steps: The newly confirmed administrator will assume duties and the appointed committee members will participate in their respective committees' upcoming meetings.
