County considers shared full‑time IT position with Health Department to replace contracted services

Hancock County Finance and Fees Committee · August 13, 2026

Summary

County staff proposed hiring a full‑time IT employee with the Health Department sharing costs; current Health Department IT spending is $25,000 and comparable counties pay about $80,000–$120,000 for similar positions.

The county discussed moving from contracted IT spending to a shared, full‑time IT position that the Health Department would help fund. Mr. Menn said the Health Department currently spends about $25,000 on IT and that similar positions in nearby counties cost between $80,000 and $120,000, indicating an expected full-time salary range for the new position.

Committee members asked for cost details and whether the Health Department would formally commit to a cost share; the transcript records that the Health Department is interested but would need specific cost information before agreeing. The item will be included in budget discussions and the committee may return with more precise figures.
