County and Zoning Administrator Dee Dee Rentmeister is approaching retirement, but who will take on her responsibilities? 

At last night's County Land Use Committee meeting, the major topic of discussion was the plan of succession for Rentmeister's retirement. The Committee debated having one full-time employee to take on county administration as well as zoning administration or having one part-time employee for each. One of the major concerns was the workload. 

Board Member Patrick Ryan suggested putting out feelers for the position being full-time, and see if any candidates would be interested in that. He says if no one bites, then they can reconsider. 

Rentmeister expressed concern about finding an experienced candidate. She explains her days are never what she plans on them being when she comes into the office, so they need to find someone who has the knowledge and work ethic to handle that. 

Ultimately, the board elected to make the zoning administrator and county administrator two separate, part-time positions at $32/hr, with the note that they can change the position details before the budget is passed at the beginning of November. This plan will be discussed at the Finance Committee Meeting on the 21st. They also briefly mentioned that three fines were issued to Enel for wind farm curtailment violations, and all 3 fines were paid without issue.
