Sarah Carstensen stated that there is one other change and that is the open position for the highway superintendent administrative assistant and the committee is recommending slight changes to that job description. This has not gone through the classification committee that serves as an advisory committee to the county board. The county board has the authority to change this. The public works administrative assistant positon was on Range 10. Lancaster stated it was discussed by the committee and that positon should have lesser duties. The committee agreed there were some of the same duties, but there should be a little less oversite by this person, it is not a supervisory position. Cross training for the office staff is necessary. They are recommending Pay Range #9 for the Highway Superintendent Administrative Assistant. Lancaster stated that this position may not have gone away. There was discussion in the past for a third person in the office. Richardson made a motion and Sorensen seconded to approve the Pay Range #9 for the Highway Superintendent Administrative Assistant.

He questioned if the expenses from last year that were paid out of the Building and Land fund could be reimbursed and transfer the money back to building and land. They are continuing to work on the hearing room. Lancaster said this is like the COVID expenses the reimbursement had to go back in the general fund. She suggested to keep track for reporting purposes. Lancaster suggested talking to Lutz if we can replace the dollars. Peterson suggested instead of submitting the expenses from last year together submit them separately then if they deny the expenditures from last year they would not deny 4
