Board approves conversion, reclassification work and classification review for community development staff

Apr 3, 2026

Kootenai County commissioners approved converting one Community Development position from a 35-hour to a 40-hour work week effective April 6, authorized staff to work with HR on an administrative reclassification and on a tiered plans-examiner classification review, and approved an office work schedule after an executive session on personnel.

The full story

Mike Beharie, community development director, told the Kootenai County commissioners on April 2 that he had reviewed departmental structure since assuming the role and proposed changes to improve consistency and service delivery. He said the board should consider converting position 155-003 from a 35-hour week to a 40-hour week to align with county schedules; if approved, the change would take effect April 6, 2026.
