Supervisor proposes staggering public-safety department attendance at Oneida County committee meetings
Summary
Supervisor Billy Fried suggested staggering Public Safety Department attendance to reduce demands on departments and streamline the committee process; the item was added to future agendas for further consideration.
Rhinelander, Wis. — Supervisor Billy Fried told the Oneida County Public Safety Committee on April 9 that department representatives should be scheduled on a staggered basis to avoid requiring multiple public-safety departments to attend every meeting.
Fried raised the suggestion during a budget and procedural discussion; the committee noted the idea and added 'Public Safety Departments presence at committee meetings' to future agendas. No formal action was taken and no changes to scheduling were adopted at the April 9 meeting.
Why it matters: Staggering department attendance could reduce demands on front-line staff and improve meeting efficiency, but it would require coordination with agencies and possible changes to how the committee receives routine department updates.
Next steps: The committee assigned the County Clerk to note the suggestion and place the topic on a future agenda for discussion.
