Committee discusses procedure to reallocate vacant suite for Human Services use
Summary
County staff described a vacant second‑floor suite (formerly emergency management space) and proposed a process to allow Human Services to co‑locate there; staff said a resolution or formal paperwork might be needed and that the room would remain reservable for the public.
Jeremy described a vacant second‑floor suite formerly used by emergency management and outlined a possible approach for Human Services to use the space, while keeping conference rooms reservable for the public.
Why it matters: Reallocating county office space affects how residents access services and which departments share or control public meeting spaces. Jeremy said Human Services could occupy the suite or use an adjacent room for family visits, but any permanent change would likely require a resolution or formal paperwork.
Details from the meeting: Jeremy said some departments have used the space temporarily (IT, social workers) and that Human Services’ proposed use could include supervised family‑visit functions. He said staff would explore grant funding to support the change but that, for now, the suite will remain vacant. Committee members agreed that establishing a clear process and precedent is prudent.
Outcome: No formal action was taken; Chair said he would follow up with the clerk and staff to develop paperwork or a resolution for a future meeting.
Next steps: Staff will consult with county administration (Susan referenced) and return with a recommended process or resolution if Human Services requests to occupy the space.
