County administrative committee selects three finalists; HHS all‑staff training day approved
Summary
The administrative committee advanced three candidates for the county administrator role and scheduled public meet‑and‑greet and interviews; the board also approved a June 4 all‑staff training day for the Health and Human Services department that will close services for the day.
Sawyer County’s administrative committee reported it has selected three finalists for the county administrator position and set events for further evaluation, and the full board approved an all‑staff training day for the Health and Human Services (HHS) department.
Committee leaders said a public “meet and greet” with the three finalists is scheduled for Monday, May 19 at 4 p.m., followed by interviews on Tuesday, May 20 beginning at 9 a.m. The committee indicated it may call a special county board meeting shortly afterward to finalize a hiring decision if terms are negotiated quickly; one tentative date discussed for a special board meeting was Thursday, May 22 at 6:30 p.m.
Separately, the board approved HHS’s request to hold an all‑staff training day on June 4 starting at 11 a.m., temporarily closing public services so staff can attend the session.
Why it matters: choosing a county administrator affects executive leadership and county policy direction; the HHS training day will temporarily suspend in‑person services for the department while staff participate in the training.
Next steps: meet‑and‑greet events and candidate interviews will proceed as scheduled; the board may call a special meeting to confirm a hire. HHS will close services on June 4 for the training.
