Ottawa County trims personnel requests, creates $1.6M strategic planning fund
Summary
Staff reported 33 personnel requests for FY2027 with 12 approved and 3 deauthorized; the board's recommended budget includes a new $1.6 million strategic planning fund with line items for groundwater study, facilities condition assessment and space-needs analysis.
County staff told the board that departments submitted 33 personnel requests during the FY2027 process; after review, 12 positions were approved and 3 previously authorized positions were deauthorized. Staff said approvals reflected a mix of new positions, reauthorizations, and reallocation of existing FTEs.
"We had 33 personnel requests this year, and 12 were approved," the presenter said. Administration also outlined a $1,600,000 strategic planning fund: $500,000 for a groundwater recharge feasibility study (outside funding), $400,000 for a facilities condition report and master plan, $400,000 for a space-needs assessment, and $100,000 for an environmental sustainability center feasibility study. Staff said tracking projects in a subfund will improve transparency and let the board monitor progress tied to the county's strategic plan.
