Board approves routine personnel backfills, performance reporting and a technical tax‑abatement amendment

Jun 17, 2025

Pine County commissioners authorized backfills for veteran services and dispatch positions, approved continuing in a state performance management program (yielding roughly $4,000 in county program aid), and approved a technical amendment to the Village Apartments tax abatement to adjust paperwork and payment routing.

The board approved several routine personnel and administrative items. Human Services and Veterans Services action items acknowledged a part‑time assistant county veteran service officer position (Dan Birch) effective June 25 and authorized backfill of that role; the board also acknowledged a probationary dispatch position (Desiree Strumble) effective June 2 and authorized filling that vacancy. A county presenter said the veterans office is now serving about 2,104 veterans in the county.
