Committee of the Board recommends merging Human Resources and Finance committees; proposal to go to County Board in March
Summary
The Committee of the Board agreed to propose combining Human Resources and Finance into a single committee; the county administrator said some decisions can be delegated to the County Administrator or HR Manager for timelier handling, and a formal proposal will go to the County Board in March.
Chair Steve Nelson reported that the Committee of the Board agreed to a proposal to combine the Human Resources and Finance committees. Nelson said the change is intended to streamline decision-making; several items the HR Committee previously addressed could be delegated to the County Administrator or the Human Resources Manager to speed routine decisions.
County Administrator Lee Engfer told the committee the Rules of Government are being reviewed and that a proposal to merge HR and Finance will be presented to the County Board in March. The minutes do not specify the proposed committee’s scope, membership, or an implementation timetable; those details will presumably be part of the Rule-change proposal to the board.
