County staff propose assigning weed-commissioner duties to secondary roads staff; engineer says a specific appointment is required
Summary
Emmet County employees proposed assigning weed-commissioner duties to secondary roads staff with salary split; County Engineer Walter Davis-Oeth said the job requires appointing a specific person rather than a shared duty.
Emmet County employees Allison Fisher and Dan Burton presented a proposal that the county’s secondary roads department assume the duties of the weed commissioner, with the position’s duties performed outside regular work hours and the weed-commissioner salary divided between Fisher and Burton. The proposal was presented during regular business; no formal appointment was recorded at the April 21 meeting.
County Engineer Walter Davis-Oeth told the board that state/local procedure requires a specific person be appointed to serve as weed commissioner, not merely a division of duties. The discussion noted the administrative and scheduling implications of having secondary roads staff perform the duties and the need for a formal appointment to satisfy statutory or procedural requirements.
No motion to appoint a specific weed commissioner was recorded on April 21; the board discussed the proposal and did not finalize an appointment during the meeting. The item may return to a future agenda for a formal nomination and vote.
