PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Discuss and provide direction on the interim County Manager.
SUMMARY
The Dakota County Board received notice from the current County Manager of his planned retirement on May 23, 2024. David Drown and Associates (DDA) was selected to conduct the executive search process for a new County Manager. Based on the search schedule established by DDA, a new County Manager is expected to start sometime in July 2024. To ensure continuity of operations between the time the current County Manager departs, and new County Manager starts, the Dakota County Board will discuss and appoint an employee to act as Interim County Manager until such time that the new County Manager starts.
According to the County’s Unclassified Merit Compensation Plan, unclassified employees designated to perform the duties and responsibilities of a vacant position at a higher classification is entitled to out-of-grade pay. The Employee Relations Director recommends a temporary 5 percent out-of- grade increase to their salary while the selected employee is acting in the Interim County Manager role.
