County prepares job description for building commissioner, plans August highway agenda
Summary
Staff presented a draft job description to create a county building commissioner post and to fold floodplain coordination duties into the role; commissioners agreed to discuss salary and present it to the council with the final budget.
Chris told commissioners the county has drafted a job description for a county building commissioner and has consulted the county surveyor for input; he said the county had planned a six‑month trial and would now revisit a permanent structure. He noted floodplain coordination had been raised and that Scott Myers is handling floodplain tasks for the county.
Commissioners agreed to place the job description and a salary recommendation on the August 11 highway meeting agenda and to fine‑tune the number for the final September budget submission. Staff said Troy Fuess had been performing both road foreman and building commissioner duties and that combining responsibilities had created operational issues.
Why it matters: creating a dedicated building commissioner and clarifying floodplain duties centralizes permitting and floodplain oversight, and the proposed salary will be considered as part of the county’s final budget.
