Budget committee reviews organization changes, compensation recommendations and schedules follow‑up meetings
Summary
Committee discussed a proposed organizational chart, potential on‑site positions (finance and planning directors), and compensation committee recommendations that could increase personnel costs; the vice chair moved to approve the revised budget for committee review and members set meetings for May 27 and June 3.
Committee members reviewed proposals to update the county’s organizational chart and position roster to move out of triage mode and create a sustainable staffing footprint. Participants discussed moving the fair manager into economic development and adding on‑site roles such as a finance director and planning director.
Board chair described the workforce and wage pressures driving the need for change and said the compensation committee had produced recommendations after reviewing comparables and CPI data. "As board chair, I failed to bring the compensation committee together," the Board chair said, noting the committee had now met and developed recommendations the budget committee should incorporate into roll‑up cost estimates.
Vice chair made a motion to approve the revised budget for the fiscal year ending 06/30/2026 for the budget committee’s review; participants clarified that this motion was for committee review and that final board approval will occur at a later meeting. The group agreed to distribute budget worksheets immediately and scheduled follow‑up budget committee meetings for Wednesday, May 27 at 9 a.m. and June 3 at 9 a.m.
Next steps: staff (Nick, Rabia and finance team) will distribute worksheets, produce roll‑up numbers that include compensation adjustments, and present an updated organizational chart and compensation packet at the next meeting for committee review.
