New extension director Liliana outlines staffing, budget reporting and events
Summary
Liliana, three weeks into the county extension director role, briefed members on staffing openings (regional dairy position), a new monthly county budget summary, an April 22 AI forum and encouraged outreach to department heads and county board members.
Liliana, who was introduced as the new extension director, told the group she is "3 weeks in in the role of as the Air Extension Director, learning tons" and said one of her first priorities is ensuring staffing systems and reporting are in place.
She reported that a regional dairy position will be advertised next week (a collaboration among Winnebago and neighboring counties) and encouraged board members to attend a local AI forum rescheduled for April 22. Liliana said she plans a 15‑minute presentation for department heads to explain Extension’s role and to invite other departments and county board members to future programs.
On budgeting, she pointed members to a color‑coded monthly budget report that is being provided in order to improve transparency. Chair Steve said the county executive has asked for monthly reports; Liliana suggested members review the report and request any additional detail they need. She praised staff members who have helped with budgeting and said the office will update the report each month.
Liliana closed by inviting questions and offering to supply further budget evaluation and evaluation data to members who want more detailed numbers.
The record shows members asked about meeting scheduling around the county board calendar and discussed election‑week constraints on taking formal actions.
