The Kossuth County Board of Supervisors on May 12 set starting salary ranges for two county positions and discussed continuity for its IT systems as the current IT coordinator prepares to leave.
Derek Olson, identified in the meeting as the county IT Coordinator, briefed the board on the server and phone system and discussed next steps for those systems after he departs county employment. The board did not record technical details of Olson’s briefing in the minutes.
Supervisor Josh Waechter moved and Supervisor Amber Garman seconded setting the starting salary range for the IT position opening at $110,000 to $128,544; the motion carried unanimously. Waechter then moved and Garman seconded setting the starting salary range for the HR/General Assistance opening at $70,000 to $82,892; that motion also passed unanimously.
The meeting record does not indicate a hiring timetable, recruitment method, or whether the posted ranges include benefits. The board did not assign specific interim IT responsibilities in the minutes; follow-up staffing actions would appear in subsequent meetings or hiring postings.
