Summary

The board voted unanimously to recreate the highway supervisor role at the county highway department following an earlier retirement and discussed that funding for the position will need to be allocated.

The Chair announced the intention to recreate the highway supervisor position at the county highway department after the prior employee retired and said the county had found some candidates. "So I guess, we need to recreate the highway supervisor position... the individual retired," the Chair said.

A committee member moved to recreate the position; the Chair seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Members noted that the county will need to allocate funding for the position and that the relevant council or budget process should account for that expense.

Board members asked staff to add the item to the council agenda and verify funding availability prior to filling the role.
