ITEMS REQUIRING ACTION BY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
1. IT Systems Analyst Position: The IT Department requests approval to create a new IT Systems Analyst
position (Pay Range 219: $71,972–$118,623). The creation of this position will provide additional support
and maintenance for the County’s enterprise applications and will allow for succession planning related to
anticipated retirements. Several members of the Enterprise Applications team are expected to retire
within the next three to five years, and this position would facilitate structured knowledge transfer in
advance of those retirements.
The committee voted 5–0 in favor of recommending this position for approval.
2. Treasurer’s Office Succession Plan: The Treasurer briefly discussed anticipated changes within his
department and advised that he had prepared a succession plan which would allow his office to continue
functioning at its current level. He requested that the County Administrator be allowed to approve his
proposed succession plan to ensure a smooth transition within the Treasurer’s Office.
The committee voted 5–0 in favor of recommending this request for approval.
ITEMS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY
The County Administrator discussed upcoming leadership transitions within the Finance Department. Specifically,
the Finance Director (Cheryl Shiffler) and the Risk Manager/Budget Analyst (Jennifer Place) are expected to retire
effective March 1, 2026. The Risk Manager/Budget Analyst position has been addressed through an intra-
departmental transfer with the current Purchasing Manager moving into this role. Recruitment efforts will begin
for a new Finance Director and Purchasing Manager.
