Recommendation
Health & Human Services
Public Health Nurse
(Market Review) 3
The County has experienced significant difficulty recruiting and retaining
qualified Public Health Nurses since the COVID-19 pandemic. Vacancies often
remain open for extended periods, applicant pools are limited, and qualified
candidates frequently accept employment with hospitals, health systems, or
other healthcare organizations that offer higher starting wages and greater
earning potential. Recommended to stay in Pay Grade I.
Jan-27
Public Health Nurse
(Reclassication) 1
Change to Public Health Nurse Supervisor. In 2022, the County hired its first
Public Health Officer without a nursing background. This shifted the supervision
of all direct patient care to a staff member. The position took lead roles in
training and oversight of new staff regarding work specific to the hands-on
nursing work done in the division. This includes contact tracing, immunizations,
coordinating vaccination clinics, prenatal care, and care coordination. Position
recommended to start at Pay Grade J.
Jan-27 $136,474.00 $144,315.00 $7,841.00 $7,841.00
Birth to Three Educator and Service Coordinator
(Reclassication) 1
There has been an increase in duties over the past 14 years, primarily related to
the changes at the state level in terms of increased requirements.
Recommended that there be no change.
Jan-27
Foster Care Coordinator
(Reclassication) 1 The role is being moved to a Social Worker position. The actual duties of the
role have been more of the responsibilities of a Social Worker. The Foster Care
Coordinator position would be eliminated. Position would be Pay Grade H.
Jan-27 $88,847.00 $95,632.00 $6,785.00 $6,785.00
DTE Peer Support Specialist
(New Position) 1
Create Peer Support Specialist (PSS) position. This role is relatively new in the
treatment array of services. We do not currently have a PSS position in our
organizational chart. In June of this year, that service became a billable service
for those individuals who have BadgerCare. It is proposed that the position be
developed as a Defined Term Employee (DTE). It would give us a six-year
window to use this service and evaluate the effectiveness of the service. It
would also give us time to figure out the most effective way to bill for the
services and explore other possible ways to fund the position. There is a
conservative revenue projection included as part of the suggested budget.
There would be no tax levy effect. Funds that were allocated for the purchase
of a sober living home that was unable to be purchased, and Opioid Settlement
Funds, would be used for this.

Register of Deeds
Deputy Register of Deeds
(Reclassification) 1
Change to Deputy Register of Deeds / Assistant Property Lister. Based on the
significant expansion of duties, technical responsibilities, independent decision-
making, and specialized knowledge required to perform the role. The position
now encompasses advanced land records management, GIS mapping
responsibilities, statutory compliance review, and technical support functions
that extend beyond the scope of the current classification. Position would be
reclassed to Pay Grade F.

Chief Deputy Register of Deeds
(Reclassification) 1
Change to Chief Deputy Register of Deeds / Administrative Supervisor. The
purpose of this reclassification is to recognize the expanded scope of
responsibility and leadership duties assigned to the position within the Register
of Deeds Office. In addition to serving as Chief Deputy Register of Deeds, the
position has assumed significant administrative, financial, and supervisory
responsibilities that extend beyond the traditional duties of the role. The
reclassification reflects the increased level of independent judgment, decision-
making authority, and accountability required to effectively support the
operations and management of the department. Position would be reclassed
to Pay Grade G.

ADRC
ADRC Director
(Reclassication) 1
At the end of 2025, Adult Protective Services (APS) was transitioned under the
supervision of the ADRC Director. While this change resulted in the addition of
three staff members to the position’s supervisory responsibilities, the more
significant change is the nature and complexity of the services this role is now
responsible for. Position would be reclassed to Pay Grade L.

ADRC Specialist
(Reclassication) 3
The ADRC Specialist position is currently classified at Pay Grade F, below both
the Disability Benefit Specialist and Elder Benefit Specialist positions, which are
classified at Pay Grade G. These positions have comparable educational and
experience requirements, with all three requiring a bachelor’s degree and
relevant professional experience. The ADRC Specialist position serves as a
primary point of entry for individuals seeking long-term care, aging, disability,
and community-based resources, which requires knowledge of multiple service
systems, programs, and funding sources. As a result, the work is equally, if not
more, complex than these comparable positions. Position would be reclassed
to Pay Grade G.
