Summary
The Monona County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution SR 26-21 on April 7, 2026, hiring Dave Brown as Maintenance Superintendent with a proposed salary of $78,000 and a start date of April 7, 2026. The board also approved an internal posting for an Onawa Shop Foreman and tabled a wage adjustment request for Jared Mohr.
The Monona County Board of Supervisors on April 7 adopted Resolution No. SR 26-21 to hire Dave Brown as Maintenance Superintendent at a proposed salary of $78,000, with total proposed pay including longevity listed as $78,417.60; the start date was recorded as April 7, 2026.
The move was introduced by Chairman Bo Fox and seconded by Supervisor Tom Brouillette; the motion carried unanimously (Ayes: Fox, Brouillette). The resolution text in the minutes records Brown’s current classification as Area Road Foreman with current pay listed as $69,482.97 and the proposed reclassification to Superintendent with the salary figures above.
Separately, Fox moved and Brouillette seconded approval of an internal posting for the Onawa Shop Foreman position; that motion also carried unanimously. The board voted to table a ten-year wage-adjustment request for employee Jared Mohr rather than decide it at this meeting.
The actions followed a broader discussion of secondary-roads staffing and operational items such as the five-year plan, bridges, roadwork priorities, county cell-phone and computer needs, and the County Engineer role; those topics were discussed but no additional action was taken. The board’s official minutes list Peggy A. Rolph as Monona County Auditor and record the votes for the personnel motions.
The next procedural step for the new superintendent is administrative onboarding; the minutes do not specify additional implementation dates or reporting requirements beyond the start date and the approved salary figures.
