Zoning office seeks full‑time administrator; townships could be charged per‑parcel fees
Summary
Zoning staff requested converting the administrator from part time to full time and increasing the assistant to 29 hours; the board estimated the changes at about $13,000 in wages and $11,500 in fringe benefits and discussed a proposal to charge townships per parcel to cover the cost.
The county’s zoning office told commissioners it had higher revenue and wants to expand staff hours: converting the Zoning Administrator from part time to full time and increasing the Zoning Assistant to 29 hours. The office estimated the change would add about $13,000 in wages and roughly $11,500 in fringe benefits to the budget.
Commissioners discussed a proposal — noted to be used in comparable counties — that would require townships to pay for zoning services on a per‑parcel basis. Board members said such fees, if adopted, could offset the additional personnel costs. No immediate staffing changes were approved at the workshop; the board left the request for further review.
