County Engineer Dan Dahlke to retire June 1; commission approves reorganization and pay‑grade changes
Summary
Commissioners approved a personnel plan tied to County Engineer Dan Dahlke’s upcoming retirement effective June 1, including pay‑grade adjustments for multiple engineering staff and a projection of roughly $77,000 in annual savings.
Chair introduced a personnel plan related to the impending retirement of County Engineer Dan Dahlke. Commissioners approved moving Clay (last name not specified in transcript) to county engineer at pay grade 55, promoting Blake Phillips to assistant engineer (pay grade 52), and moving Blake Gallahar (project engineer) to pay grade 38; the changes were to take effect June 1.
Dan Dahlke confirmed his retirement date: "As of June 1, I will be officially retired," he told the commission.
