County administrator outlines state Direct Care Wage program estimated at $37,000
Summary
County Administrator Brian Huso briefed commissioners on the state's Direct Care Wage program for frontline workers, advising Garfield County would receive roughly $37,000 covering January–July 2027 if the county participates.
County Administrator Brian Huso told the commissioners the state is offering a Direct Care Wage program aimed at frontline workers; he said the county's share "would be about $37,000 from January to July 2027." The item was presented during the public-comment portion but discussed with staff in the meeting.
Commissioners asked for follow-up and coordination with county payroll and HR staff as needed; no formal commitment or allocation was made during the July 15 meeting. Adam Forslund later recommended a separate meeting with administration to review the new HR system that would intersect with program administration if the county chooses to participate.
