Dane County committee approves reclassification of board office role to policy analyst
Summary
The Dane County Executive Committee voted to approve Resolution 44, reclassifying the board office position formerly titled Sustainability and Program Evaluation Coordinator to a policy analyst role and allowing the office to post a requisition for hiring.
The Dane County Executive Committee on a voice vote approved Resolution 44 to reclassify a vacant board office position from Sustainability and Program Evaluation Coordinator to a policy analyst role, clearing the way for the county board office to post a hiring requisition.
Cecily, board office chief of staff, told the committee the vacancy resulted from the departure of Lisa McKinnon and that the former position "was formerly named the Sustainability and Program Evaluation Coordinator" and had been classified at the Manager 12 level. She said the new classification would be at the professional TIN level and place the role on the policy side of the board office.
The change follows an employee relations review of comparable county positions. "When they do the reclassification through employee relations, you can do a reclass if there's over 50% of a change to a job position," Cecily said. She also said the office’s manager-level position that handles policy outreach and communications (M-13) will continue to oversee program evaluation work, while the policy analyst will "be the primary person who's doing the research and the drafting of legislation on behalf of the county board members." Cecily said the role is expected to require about "1 to 2 years of policy experience," a lower experience threshold than the prior classification.
Supervisor Peters moved approval of the resolution. The committee chair called for the voice vote; members answered "aye," and the motion was recorded as approved. The board office may now proceed with the requisition and hiring steps following the board's formal approval.
The committee also approved minutes from its May 15 meeting (one abstention was recorded) and introduced Dylan Moffett as the new dedicated policy outreach and communications staff person in the board office. No public commenters were registered at the meeting.
The committee scheduled no additional action on the reclassification beyond the hiring requisition; employee relations review was completed before the board's approval and no ordinance or budget change was presented at the meeting.
