County deals with personnel changes
Green County Board

MONROE — The Green County Board of Supervisors accepted the resignation of Human Resources Director Clint Langreck at its meeting March 10.

Langreck has been hired to serve as the administrator of Richland County. His last day with Green County was March 10. Langreck was the county’s human resources director for two years and four months.

Green County will begin interviewing candidates for the human resources director position on March 13.

A new grant has allowed Green County to hire a human resources assistant. The grant, in the amount of $47,737, will pay for a “CLTS/B3” assistant, which is part of the Children’s Long-Term Support Waiver Program.

The CLTS program provides Medicaid funding for children who have substantial limitations in their daily activities and who need support to remain in their home. The grant funding can be used to provide a range of different services based on the needs of the child or their family. The CLTS program operates through the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

No county tax levy money will need to be used to fund the position.

The county board recognized five outgoing board members who decided to run for reelection in the April 7 general election. County Board members who were recognized and their years of service include Ray Francois, 40 years; Calvin Wickline, 22 years; Kenneth Hodgson 14 years; Sherri Fidduccia, 12 years; and Paul Beach, four years.

The board approved a change in job title and description for the nursing care coordinator at Pleasant View Nursing Home. The new position will be titled the residency care coordinator.

Pleasant View Director Terry Snow gave the annual report for the nursing home at the meeting.

In other action, the county board approved a measure no longer allowing for storage of the personal wills of county residents at the Green County Justice Center.

County Clerk Mike Doyle said in a practice that started “many, many years ago,” the county stored copies of resident’s personal wills as a service. However, after advice by Green County’s circuit court judges, it was deemed that the practice be discontinued.

“We have enough of our own paperwork to take care of in the county aside from storing wills,” Doyle said.

More common practices for individuals storing wills include filing them with an attorney, keeping them in a personal safe or in a safety deposit box at a bank.

The Green County Sheriff’s Department lowered civil process fees for the Green County Child Support Agency. The previous fee had been $75 per occurrence. The fee has been lowered to $30. 

Green County’s board meeting in April will be held on the third Tuesday of the month, April 21, rather than the second Tuesday of the month to allow for reorganization of the county board following the April general election.
