Rosebud County to seek public comment on plan to combine clerk of court and superintendent roles
Summary
The Rosebud County commission approved Resolution 12‑33 to send intent to combine the clerk of court and superintendent of schools positions, set a public hearing for Aug. 19 at 10 a.m., and was told the change could save about $75,000 with a transition planned around Jan. 1, 2027.
Rosebud County commissioners voted Aug. 5 to send notice of intent to explore combining the clerk of court and superintendent of schools positions and set a public hearing on the proposal for Aug. 19 at 10 a.m. in the commissioners’ office.
A commissioner described the proposal as combining the two roles and said the change would take effect around Jan. 1, 2027. The commissioner said the current supervisor would work with Lisa Blevins, identified in the discussion as the current superintendent of schools who is retiring and will not run for re‑election, for roughly 18–24 months to transition duties. The commissioner also said the change was expected to save “around $75,000.”
The board framed the vote as a step to give the public an opportunity to comment before any final action. The transcript records a public hearing date and the commission’s approval to send intent to combine the offices; it does not include materials such as an impact study, a detailed budget breakdown of the projected savings, or exact statutory citations about how the combination would be implemented. The vote on Resolution 12‑33 was taken by voice and the motion carried.
A public hearing is scheduled for Aug. 19 at 10 a.m. at the commissioners’ office, where the commission indicated members of the public may comment on the proposal prior to any final decision.
