In 2009, permanent headcount was reduced to 330 and now the County <br /> is approximately at 400. The budget has gone from 60 million dollars to currently 91 million in the <br /> recommended budget. Only one person has been added to Finance since then because of the <br /> ARPA funding. The purpose of the recommended positions are to provide additional leadership <br /> and accountability. The County Manager currently manages 18 departments. A proposed <br /> organization chart was presented detailing the changes from the County Manager. One of the <br /> assistant county managers would be responsible for overseeing operational services, which <br /> includes General Services, Parks and Recreation, Library, Strategic Services, Cooperative <br /> Extension, Emergency Management, Backup 911, Soil and Water Conservation, Fire Marshall <br /> and Development Services. The other proposed assistant county manager would be responsible <br /> for overseeing governmental support, which includes Finance, Social Services, Senior Services, <br /> Information Technology, Elections, Human Resources, Health, COLTS and Mental Health.
