County financial analyst to retire; commissioners debate hiring and temporary coverage
Summary
A long‑time county financial analyst submitted a retirement notice effective June 20 and offered to stay part time to train a replacement; commissioners debated hiring a full-time replacement now, a temporary half-time overlap, or waiting for budget workshop decisions.
County staff told commissioners that Toni Moneer, a financial analyst who prepares monthly financial reports and supports department budgeting, has submitted a retirement notice effective June 20 and offered to remain part time to train a replacement.
Staff recommended keeping Moneer on part time through the end of the year to provide continuity and training. Commissioners discussed options: hire a full-time replacement immediately, advertise and hire to overlap, or accept a part-time transition arrangement. One commissioner said they preferred to fill the position full time; another said they wanted a work session on the broader budget before committing to new ongoing hires.
County staff noted the 2025 budget included funds for two positions in the administrative finance area and that the county has temporary funding for a financial-analyst temp hire. Commissioners asked staff to begin advertising immediately to allow time for recruitment and training, with the understanding that some commissioners want additional budget discussion before finalizing ongoing staffing authority.
Ending: Staff will begin advertising the vacancy, keep options open for part-time overlap, and schedule budget workshop dates to resolve permanent staffing decisions.
