Pine County board accepts personnel committee report; approves retirements, reclassifications and backfills
Summary
The board accepted personnel committee recommendations including acknowledgment of a property appraiser retirement effective May 6, 2026, approval to backfill positions across several departments, HHS classification changes, and a regrade in Environmental Services that the presenter said would save approximately $3,786 annually.
The Pine County Board accepted the personnel committee's recommendations and approved multiple personnel actions, including acknowledgement of the retirement of property appraiser Karen Stomedy effective May 6, 2026, and authorization to backfill that position and any vacancies resulting from internal promotions.
The committee also approved revised job descriptions in the Auditor‑Treasurer's office to realign supervisory reporting, and in Health and Human Services (HHS) acknowledged an upcoming retirement (effective 05/22/2026), authorized backfill and a classification change (one office support specialist reclassified to a grade 5 case aide position) and recruitment of a higher‑end eligibility worker to prepare for an anticipated leave and retirement.
Environmental Services recommended regrading the deputy environmental services manager position from grade 11 to grade 10, which the presenter said was due to the position not meeting the supervisory definition under Minnesota statute as read in the meeting; the regrade was estimated to save approximately $3,786 annually with no change to headcount.
The board moved and seconded the committee recommendations and approved the package on a roll call (Commissioner Ludwig: aye; Commissioner Holland: yes; Chair Moore: aye; Commissioner Nelson: yes; Commissioner Waldheim: yes). No dissent was recorded in the transcript.
