Stevens County approves hires and backfills, recognizes new department head
Summary
The board accepted a resignation effective June 26, approved backfill hires for child protection staff, introduced recent hires including Deputy Recorder and Deputy Sheriff, and recognized the Environmental Services/Planning & Zoning hire as a department head.
County Administrator Rebecca Young presented multiple personnel items at the July 7 meeting. The board accepted the resignation of Kristine Schwargel, Child Protection Social Worker, effective June 26, 2026, and approved motions to backfill the Child Protection Social Worker position and a Case Aid I position.
Young introduced new Deputy Recorder Maggie Skovlund (hired May 11, 2026) and Sheriff Dingman introduced new Deputy Steve Henriksen (hired June 1, 2026). Young also requested that the new Environmental Services/Planning & Zoning hire be recognized as a department head rather than a coordinator based on qualifications; the board approved that recognition. All personnel motions passed unanimously.
