Board approves making contracted ADRC Disability Benefit Specialist a full‑time county position
Summary
Waupaca County approved Resolution No. 11 to convert the contracted ADRC Disability Benefit Specialist to a full-time county position effective Sept. 1, 2023, citing recruitment difficulty by the contractor and funding through Medicaid reimbursements and grants. Vote: 23-0.
The Waupaca County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 15 approved Resolution No. 11 to transition the ADRC Disability Benefit Specialist from a contracted post to a regular full‑time Waupaca County employee effective Sept. 1, 2023.
The resolution states the position had been vacant since Jan. 1, 2023, and that the contractor (Valley Packaging, Inc.) had not been successful in recruiting a replacement. It notes the position is fully funded through Medicaid reimbursement and grant funding and that the Health and Human Services Board recommended the change. Supr. Golding moved adoption and Supr. Murphy seconded; the motion carried 23-0.
The board’s action adds the position to the county’s table of organization. The minutes do not include job description details, salary grade, or onboarding timeline beyond the effective date of Sept. 1, 2023; those details are expected to be handled by Human Resources and the Health and Human Services Department.
