County accepts recovery funds, creates care-coordinator position and approves human-services hires
Summary
Supervisors approved acceptance of Twin County Recovery funds, reduced a small service dollar pool, created an adult care-coordinator position and approved several personnel fills across the Department of Social Services and human-services programs.
The Public Safety Committee approved a series of human-services resolutions, including acceptance of a grant, personnel changes and contract amendments.
Speaker 4 asked the committee to accept approximately $82,000.969 in funding for a capital project under Twin County Recovery Services; the resolution was moved, seconded and carried. The committee also approved reducing an available service-dollar pool at the Department of Human Services from $5,000 to $3,500 and creating and filling an adult care‑coordination position to support behavioral‑health and care‑navigation work.
Speaker 4 also said the county will fill a soon‑to‑be‑vacant clinical psychiatric-social-worker position following attrition; the personnel resolution to fill the position passed. Separately, the committee approved amending a nurse‑practitioner contract to increase hours from seven to 14 as one practitioner departs and a new hire requires additional coverage.
The Department of Social Services (Speaker 6) presented multiple personnel resolutions to fill a caseworker, legal typist, social‑welfare examiner and director of services roles; motions were moved and carried. The DSS representative also asked to revise the county medical‑director salary retroactive to July 14; the committee approved the pay revision as presented.
Committee members asked clarifying questions about the source and uses of funds and about whether some positions are permanent hires or temporary fills. Where dollar amounts or specific contract terms were not read into the record, staff noted those details were in the packet or will be provided in follow‑up reports.
