Assessor Brandi Schmidt told the board her office has begun assisting with building permit intake after the zoning department's administrative assistant position became vacant. Chairperson Gloria Carr explained that the duties of the former assistant are being distributed among the Assessor’s Office, Public Health Office, and Emergency Management Agency as the county works toward consolidating services for improved efficiency.
Schmidt and Zoning Administrator Jessy Willadsen revised the permit application form to align with a new fee schedule the Board of Supervisors approved March 31, 2026. The changes were presented as administrative steps to maintain service levels during the hiring pause; the board did not take formal action to alter staffing or the fee schedule at this meeting.
