Board agrees to fund two 40-hour positions in Treasurer’s office; Deputy Treasurer wage corrected
Summary
The Kalkaska County Board decided to budget two full-time (40-hour) positions in the Treasurer's office and corrected the Deputy Treasurer salary to $46,280 after it was found the previous budget entry had used a 35-hour calculation.
During the Nov. 13 budget workshop, commissioners discussed staffing in the Treasurer’s office and agreed to fund two 40-hour-per-week positions rather than part-time alternatives.
Minutes show the Deputy Treasurer's wage was corrected to $46,280 after staff discovered it had been calculated at a 35-hour workweek in the draft budget. Commissioners discussed whether future staffing changes should require board approval or be handled administratively; the board agreed alternate staffing requests will be reviewed case-by-case.
The workshop did not include a formal hiring action—only budgetary decisions for the 2026 proposed budget. Further personnel or staffing actions would follow county policies and any required personnel approvals.
