Board approves combining part‑time lab and environmental health roles into one full‑time position
Summary
Douglas County committee approved combining a part‑time lab technician and part‑time Environmental Health Specialist into a single full‑time Environmental Health position for the 2027 budget, noting fiscal impact is uncertain until fee revenue is realized.
The Health and Human Services Board approved a request to combine an existing part‑time Lab technician and a part‑time Environmental Health Specialist into one full‑time Environmental Health Specialist position for the 2027 budget.
The agenda explains the fiscal impact is not yet known because fee increases may raise Public Health revenue by the end of 2026; the committee approved funding and referred the proposal to the Administration Committee and County Board. The motion was made by Angie Sapik, seconded by Rosemary Lear, and carried unanimously.
The referral sends the proposal to county budget authorities to confirm whether fee revenue and other budget items can absorb or support the combined full‑time position.
