County official urges staffing metrics ahead of Kootenai County budget season
Summary
A county official asked departments to develop staffing and workload metrics and invited departments to coordinate with Craig Davidson in Community Development and the speaker to prepare personnel requests for the 2026 budget cycle.
At the May 21, 2025, Kootenai County elected officials meeting, a county official urged departments to develop staffing and workload metrics ahead of the upcoming budget season to support personnel requests.
The speaker said such metrics would show “workload per employee” and help justify staffing needs to commissioners and the public. They invited department heads and elected officials to contact Craig Davidson in Community Development for assistance and offered to work directly with officials on personnel requests.
The official framed the request as a way to move beyond anecdotes and show quantifiable needs during budget deliberations. There was no additional discussion or formal action recorded; the item concluded and the meeting moved on.
