Committee approves 2.25 FTE increase and new positions tied to 2026 budget
Summary
Supervisors approved an increase of 2.25 full-time-equivalent positions and additional hours for one position; some costs are expected to be covered by grants or other revenues. Proposed positions include a part-time social worker, Maintenance Technician, seasonal solid waste worker, and transition of a child support specialist to full-time.
The Finance Committee voted on Sept. 16 to approve a net increase of 2.25 FTEs and increased hours for one position as part of the 2026 staffing plan. The motion, moved by Supervisor John Pedretti and seconded by Supervisor Martha Olson, carried on a voice vote with all present voting in favor.
Minutes and accompanying tables show the proposed changes include: a part-time Social Worker/Case Manager for the Children's Long Term Support Program (0.50 FTE), conversion of a Child Support Specialist from part time to full time (0.50 FTE), and adding a Maintenance Technician in Buildings & Facilities (1.00 FTE) funded in part by savings from reduced hours for a Lead Maintenance Specialist. The county noted some positions are funded by grants or program reimbursements; the Child Support Specialist position is described as "66% funded by state and federal funds." The packet also lists a seasonal part-time Solid Waste & Recycling worker and hours changes intended to standardize bi-weekly hours to 80 for certain positions.
Finance and HR staff will incorporate the approved positions into the budget documents and track funding sources and net levy impact as the budget process continues.
