Summary

After interviewing multiple candidates for the license bureau director post, the board voted in favor of offering the job to Mary in a roll-call vote; the new hire will undergo state-mandated training and a handover period before assuming duties.

The Grant County Board of Commissioners conducted a series of interviews for the license bureau director position. Candidates outlined experience with motor-vehicle titling, driver’s-license procedures, customer service in high-volume counters, and supervisory responsibilities. Commissioners asked each candidate about multitasking under pressure, strategies to reduce wait times and workflow improvements, and experience handling state rules for Real ID and enhanced licenses.

Following the interviews and a brief, recorded discussion about meeting recordings and deliberations, a motion was made to offer the job to Mary. The board called a roll-call vote: Ken Johnson voted No; Troy Johnson, Doyle Spear, Bill LaValle and Dwight voted Yes. The motion passed and staff will contact Mary to confirm acceptance and set a start date; the transcript records the vote as the official board action.

Staff told the board the state provides regular in‑service training for licensed‑bureau staff and that those sessions usually can be accommodated during work hours. If Mary accepts, the county will arrange hands‑on training with the outgoing director and will post the resulting vacancy or adjust internal staffing as needed.
