Grant County introduces new Emergency Manager and seeks one-year GIS contract cost
Summary
At its Feb. 5 meeting the Grant County Board heard an introduction from new Emergency Manager and 911 Coordinator Jared Fischer, heard a Director of Tax Equalization update about a pending letter, and asked county staff to provide a one-year cost for the gWorks GIS contract covering Jan. 1, 2025–Dec. 31, 2027.
Grant County officials used routine agenda time on Feb. 5 to note personnel introductions and follow up on pending administrative items.
Jared Fischer introduced himself to the Grant County Board of Commissioners as the county's Emergency Manager and 911 Coordinator and said he has been contacting emergency services within the county and neighboring jurisdictions. The introduction was informational; no vote or formal action accompanied the introduction.
Jackie Steinmetz, Director of Tax Equalization, said she is preparing a letter to Raymond Christensen (the subject of the letter is not specified in the minutes). Later in the meeting Steinmetz presented a bill from gWorks related to the county GIS program; the contract shown in the minutes runs from Jan. 1, 2025, to Dec. 31, 2027. Commissioners asked staff to provide the cost for a one-year contract option rather than the full three-year term listed in the invoice.
Auditor Sara Meier told the board there will be an upcoming hearing on a boundary modification for the Flasher Fire District and informational meetings for the New Leipzig Elgin Ambulance District; dates and additional details were not specified in the minutes. Chairman Alton Zenker adjourned the meeting at 12:33 p.m.
No formal personnel appointments, contract awards, or policy changes appear in the minutes for these items; the actions recorded were introductory and requests for further cost information and notices of public hearings.
