Summary

Committee members said an emergency board meeting for a regionally shared employment service led to the removal of Jeffrey Muse from his duties and appointment of an interim leader from Park Falls; trustees will evaluate a business plan this week and dissolution remains a possibility if viability cannot be demonstrated.

Members reported an emergency governance action concerning the regional Job Service/Concentrated Employment Program. An outside‑board representative said the entity faced a dire financial situation, the board held an emergency meeting on Aug. 1, and the board relieved Jeffrey Muse of his duties pending further review. A staff member from the Park Falls office will serve as interim leader while the board and accounting staff prepare a business plan for consideration.

The representative said the board will meet again to evaluate whether the interim leader and the head accountant can present a viable business plan; if not, the entity could be dissolved. Indian Head Community Action Agency was also discussed: members reported routine numbers and scheduled a more detailed financial review for Aug. 29.

The county committee did not take governance action itself; members were reporting developments from outside organizations.
