Committee approves conversion of vacant senior‑center case manager position to full‑time shared social worker
Summary
The committee authorized converting a vacant part‑time senior center case manager position into a full‑time social worker shared with police and EMS, noting current vacancy savings cover this year’s cost but the change will affect future budgets.
The Middleton Finance and Personnel Committee approved an authorization on May 5 to convert a vacant part‑time senior center case manager position into a full‑time social worker position shared between the senior center, police and EMS.
Madden moved to approve the authorization and Crowell seconded. Staff noted that savings from the existing vacancy cover the cost for this fiscal year, but that moving the role to full time will increase future budgetary obligations. HR manager Casey Radke was available online for questions, staff said, and committee members emphasized the difficulty in filling the three‑quarter position and the operational benefits of a stable, full‑time case management role shared across departments.
The motion passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: The change is intended to stabilize case management services for seniors and provide police and EMS with more consistent social‑work support; it is affordable in the current year from vacancy savings but will increase future budget commitments.
