Commissioners send Title VI coordinator appointment to budget for staffing review
Summary
The commission discussed creating a Title VI coordinator position, debated which department should house the role, and sent the request to the budget process for further evaluation and potential new FTE approval.
Sumner County commissioners discussed the appointment and staffing of a Title VI coordinator and voted to refer the matter to the county budget process for further review.
The law director and other staff reported that administering Title VI compliance touches grants and multiple departments. Staff recommended that the position may be more appropriate in finance or legal and that creating the role could require a new employee request (a new FTE). Several commissioners described the duty as similar to an “additional duty” many staff currently absorb; others said the workload could require dedicated staff.
Commissioner discussion focused on whether the county should reassign responsibilities internally or add a full-time position. The commission voted to move the Title VI coordinator item to the budget cycle so the budget office can evaluate whether to create a new position and where it should reside.
Ending: The commission placed the Title VI coordinator request on the next budget cycle for evaluation of scope, staffing requirements and potential FTE authorization.
