Board of Commissioners Meeting · 2026-07-28 · agenda_item

Clay County is considering refilling the Detox/WM Director position following the retirement of the current director, effective August 21, 2026. This action is planned to ensure operations continue smoothly. Additionally, a potential organizational restructuring is under review, which could place oversight of the Detox Withdrawal Management program under the Public Health department. This review is currently planned for August 2026. The scope of work involves administrative and personnel planning, with potential changes to job classifications and salary structures. The decision on refilling the position and any reorganization will be made by the Board of Commissioners. Local businesses involved in administrative support, HR consulting, or public health program management may find opportunities to engage as this review progresses. Early engagement could be beneficial as plans are still being developed.
