Land records report a new hire; surveyor requests replacement GPS receiver

Sawyer County Land, Water, and Forest Resources Committee · August 13, 2026

Summary

Land records staff said the office has a recent hire but remains below historic staffing levels; the surveyor requested a CIP to replace a decade-old GPS receiver to avoid failure when parts are no longer available.

Land records staff reported a recent hire, saying "we've got a new hire in the office, Chase. He's been in for 2 weeks shy of 2 weeks now," and explained the office has been operating with fewer employees than in the past. Staff said three positions would be preferable to handle required tasks and that larger GIS and mapping projects rely on grant funding.

The surveyor noted a CIP request to replace one of two GPS receivers that are about 10 years old and for which replacement parts are no longer available. The request is intended to be proactive to avoid being unable to repair a receiver if it fails in the field; committee members discussed cost estimates during the meeting but did not finalize an amount during the discussion.
