Board member proposes combining two adjacent offices to save one position; item slated for next agenda
Summary
A board member suggested merging two adjacent county offices to eliminate one position and save salary and insurance costs; staff noted overlapping duties but cautioned about microfilm responsibilities. The board agreed to place the matter on next month’s agenda.
During general discussion, a board member suggested combining two offices that work closely together, saying it could “save 1 employee” and reduce insurance and salary costs. The member argued the offices already overlap on copiers, toners and technical tasks and that John has previously covered for Tracy during leaves.
John said most tasks are similar and that the offices are adjacent, but noted he has not handled microfilm for many years and that microfilm operations could complicate consolidation. The board agreed to add the proposal to next month’s agenda for further consideration rather than make an immediate decision.
The suggestion was presented as a cost-saving option; no personnel actions or budget changes were approved at the meeting.
