Sioux County board completes routine organizational business and annual appointments for 2015
Summary
At its January meeting the board made standard organizational choices for 2015 — chair appointment, official website, newspaper and county depository designations — adopted representative appointments to regional boards, set legal holidays and approved a 3% cost‑of‑living raise for employees.
At its Jan. 2, 2015 meeting the Sioux County Board of Commissioners handled annual organizational business. The board appointed Joshua Skavdahl as chair for 2015 and designated sioux.mipsweb.info as the county’s official website. The Crawford Clipper/Harrison Sun was named the official newspaper for county publications, and Security First Bank was approved as the county’s official depository for 2015.
The board also adopted a slate of county representatives to regional and state boards and agencies (Aging Agency of Western Nebraska; Region I Office of Human Development; Panhandle Developmental Disabilities Services; Panhandle Mental Health Board; Panhandle Public Health District; Solid Waste Agency of Northwest Nebraska; Northwest Community Action Board; Region 23 Emergency Management; Panhandle RC&D). The board approved a 3% cost‑of‑living raise for county employees and approved the official legal holiday schedule for 2015 and the New Year’s Day observation for 2016.
Why it matters: these organizational actions fulfill statutory and procedural responsibilities, establish official county contacts and media channels, and set personnel parameters for the fiscal year.
Next steps: departmental operations proceed under the board’s designations; appointed representatives will serve on their respective bodies and report back to the county as needed.
