Summary
The Price County Administration Committee listed recent hires (child support specialist, highway operator, deputies), recorded several resignations and a superintendent vacancy, and outlined recruitments including two Health & Human Services CLTS social‑worker positions pending updated job descriptions.
The Price County Administration Committee on May 12 recorded a string of personnel changes and open recruitments affecting county services. The committee’s personnel update listed four recent hires — Lori Svoboda, Child Support Specialist; Zachary Stendahl, Highway Operator; Chelsey Howell, part‑time deputy sheriff; and Dawson Hauschild, deputy sheriff — and three departures: Dawn Schmutzer, Child Support Specialist; Dan Heenan, Highway Fleet & Facilities Superintendent; and David Wesenick, Deputy Sheriff.
Committee members also reviewed current recruitments. Open positions include an administrative assistant for Child Support; a part‑time correction officer/dispatcher; a part‑time deputy sheriff; substitute nutrition site managers; and the Highway Department’s Fleet & Facilities Superintendent position, for which internal applicants are being processed prior to external recruitment. The committee noted that two new Health and Human Services Social Worker CLTS positions will be recruited after updates to their job descriptions are completed.
The personnel report did not include salary or effective‑date details for the listed hires or departures. The committee did not record votes or motions tied specifically to individual hires or recruitments during the meeting minutes; those items were presented as updates. The committee set its next meeting for June 9, 2026 and adjourned at 9:39 a.m.
