Dear Friends,
Here is your regular update for Your Door County Board Meeting this Tuesday August 25th at 9:00AM at our Government Center – 421 Nebraska in Sturgeon Bay.
- RETIRING SUPERVISOR: Thank You County Supervisor Will Jeanquart for many years of valuable service. His years of experience and his wisdom on the Board will be missed. A replacement to fill these big shoes is being sought. Please contact me if you’re interested in representing City Wards 13 – 14 on our County Board - click HERE for a map.
- SEAT-BELT GRANT: Buckle-up everyone! If approved, the Sheriff’s Dept. will have $18,000 worth of extra patrol time to pull-over anyone not wearing a seatbelt. “Click it or Ticket!"
- COUNTY PERSONNEL: A Joint Meeting of the Administrative and Finance Committees discussed proposed staffing changes for 2010. A janitor position for the Justice Center and Highway Shop was granted, but only ½ of full-time. However, a Social Worker position is not being filled from the Long Term Care Unit. This worker helps manage Our resources to provide services to our Community’s most vulnerable citizens. This cut will result in less attention for those needing life-long support (the Developmentally Disabled, the Wheel-Chair Bound, etc.) while more cases are taken on by fewer Social Workers. If there were fewer cases, then the cut is justified. If not, then what are we doing!?
- COMMITTEE RESTRUCTURING: We’ll be discussing (again) a plan to restructure our County’s Committees. A well-thought-out plan to involve more of the Board in important decisions could be positive.
That’s all for now. You can find the full agenda HERE.
