Scott County Board approves staffing reorganizations across departments
Summary
The Board approved Resolution 35-2026 updating tables of organization across county departments, adding positions in the Attorney's Office, MEDIC EMS, Sheriff and Youth Justice while cutting several custodial positions in Facilities. Sections 1–6 take effect July 1, 2026; sections 7–8 are effective immediately.
The Scott County Board of Supervisors on March 12 approved a package of personnel changes that add and reassign positions across several county departments.
The Board adopted Resolution 35-2026, which increases the Attorney’s Office staffing by 1.0 full‑time equivalent (FTE) Legal Secretary and 1.0 FTE Fine Collections Specialist; adds a Vehicle Safety Technician (1.0 FTE) and two EMT positions for MEDIC EMS while removing certain EMT/Prebiller and Paramedic/Payroll Clerk classifications; increases the Sheriff’s Office by 1.0 FTE Sergeant and reduces one deputy; and adds 0.5 FTE Correctional Health Nurse to the Youth Justice Rehabilitation Center. Separately, the Facilities and Support Services department was reduced by 14.52 FTE custodian positions and by one Custodial Supervisor; the resolution states sections 1–6 take effect July 1, 2026, and sections 7–8 (the Facilities reductions) are effective immediately.
Supervisor Paustian moved the resolution and Supervisor Bribriesco seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote recorded in the meeting as "All Ayes." The resolution text directs the county to implement the changes consistent with its personnel policies and includes effective-date language for the differing sections.
Why it matters: the changes shift staffing toward legal, public-safety and EMS functions while significantly reducing custodial capacity in Facilities and Support Services immediately. The resolution does not include details in the record about the budgetary offsets, anticipated cost savings, or whether any of the affected positions will be subject to bumping, attrition or reassignment; the motion as recorded contains the FTE adjustments and effective dates only.
Next steps: Departments will implement the changes per county HR procedures; the resolution takes effect as specified in the approved text.
