County makes multiple staffing decisions and administrative updates

Buchanan County Board of Supervisors · August 10, 2026

Summary

Board approved numerous hires, resignations and payroll authorizations across departments (Auditor’s Office, Sheriff, Ambulance, HR); approved ending use of an engineer training form and restructured HR duties temporarily under the auditor.

Throughout 2026 the board processed a steady stream of personnel actions: hiring and termination approvals, payroll‑authorization resolutions for elected officials’ staff, and role changes for Human Resources responsibilities.

Notable actions: the board hired an Ambulance Director (Kimberly Lingenfelter), approved multiple Sheriff’s Office dispatcher and corrections hires, and moved to refill or reassign county HR duties after the Human Resources Director’s resignation. The auditor and board arranged temporary coverage with legal counsel and consultant support (Ahlers & Cooney) for HR transition. Payroll authorizations were passed as resolutions for line‑staff and for appointments to boards and commissions. The board also discontinued an older training request form previously used by the county engineer.
