Summary

To cover training tied to the retiring Treasurer, the board approved a memorandum with AFSCME temporarily increasing a part-time Deputy II Treasurer position to 35 hours per week through year-end; staff estimated a $22,000 budget impact with $5,000 previously budgeted.

Treasurer Tammy Peterson told the board the Deputy II Treasurer position will temporarily increase to 35 hours per week until the end of 2026 to support training needs associated with the Treasurer's retirement and transition. The meeting record states: "The estimated increase to the budget is $22,000, however, $5,000 is already budgeted for extra help in 2026."

The board moved and unanimously approved a Memorandum of Understanding with AFSCME to implement the temporary hours increase. Commissioners recorded no objections and the MOU will be implemented through the Treasurer's office and human resources per the agreement's terms.

The board did not record any additional staffing changes at this meeting beyond the temporary hours authorization.
