UPDATE BOCC/ DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORTS COMMISSIONERS
Each Commissioner was assigned three different Department Heads to
meet with on a weekly basis. This was determined at a Special
Meeting with the Board of County Commissioners held on June 18,
2009. Each Commissioner reviewed discussions held with their
respective departments and exchanged details of those meetings. On
January 3, 2011 the Board determined it would be beneficial to
alternate Commissioners that will oversee the different Department
Head’s on an annual basis. They determined at the end of 2013 they
would review the various committees they participate in and provide
beneficial updates to the Board as needed during this time as well.

was drafted with the support & recommendation of the Public Lands
Advisory Committee. Commissioner Jewell moved to approve Board
signature on the letter as presented. Commissioner Osiadacz
seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
DISCUSSION BOCC STAFFING COMMISSIONERS
Chairman O’Brien explained that with the savings the office has had
from the Records Clerk position not being filled he would like the
Board to entertain a temporary fulltime Records Clerk position
untill the end of the year in an effort to get things somewhat
caught up. He felt looking at fulltime for 2017 is something he
would like to see in the 2017 budget discussion. Commissioner Jewell
questioned how it would be paid for in 2017. He stated that it has
been the BoCC’s approach to not fill positions with one time
funding. He stated that he would support the full-time temporary
position but that unless additional funding becomes available the 40
hours a week would need to drop down to 19 hours a week at the end
of the year.
The Board authorized Julie Kjorsvik, Clerk of the Board to proceed
through the process of filling the position for 40 hours a week
untill 12/31/2016, noting that unless additional funding comes
forward during budget discussions, then the position would go back
to 19 hours a week.
