The Board approved a job description for the position of Assistant Information Technology Director. During the time for discussion prior to the vote Fedler opined that the job description should be reviewed by members of the Iowa Counties Information Technology (ICIT) group prior to formal Board approval. In response to Fedler Sheriff Jared Schneider pointed out the existence of language in the proposed job description stating that the Assistant Information Technology Director will “Perform other duties as assigned” which Schneider said would address job responsibilities not specifically addressed elsewhere in the document. While agreeing with Fedler re: the need for ICIT to review the proposed job description Seward stated that he was none the less comfortable with approving the document as presented and added that modifications could be made in the future. Asst. Information Technology (IT) Administrator Kyle Evans noted that the proposed job description was based on a template provided by the ICIT while Young stated he had conversed with ICIT member Joel Rhone regarding the proposed job description during the previous week and Rhone expressed no concerns. Finally, it was noted that on January 31, 2024, a draft copy of the proposed job description had been forwarded to all members of the County IT Committee, whose membership includes Fedler, for review. Young called for a vote re: the motion on the floor and the vote passed as follows: Aye-Young, Seward, Stoops, Yoder; Nay-Fedler.
The Board voted to appoint Mike Zahs and James Cuddeback to separate three-year terms on the Washington County Historic Preservation Commission with each term ending on December 31, 2026.
At 9:30 am the Board voted to adjourn.
