Executive Summary:

This document is a letter from the Leelanau County Prosecutor, Sheriff, Probate Judge, Treasurer, and Register to the Board of Commissioners and County Administrator. The letter discusses the report and presentation by John Scholten, which echoes concerns expressed by county staff and elected officials. The authors reject the notion that these concerns have been fabricated or exaggerated, and they support several actions recommended by Scholten, including:

1. The Board engaging in training to assist in the re-dedication of providing true governance.
2. The Board, Departments, and Offices committing to develop a code of conduct based on civil discourse, cooperation, transparency, and acceptance of prescribed boundaries.
3. The Board moving forward with the separation of Finance and Human Resource from the responsibility of the County Clerk’s Office, and establishing a clear chain of command for review or approval of their decisions.
4. The Board conducting an independent wage scale study for all county employees.
5. The County Administrator providing leadership and welcoming comments at all Board meetings.
6. All elected officials and department heads working together to improve and encourage communications with and among all staff.
7. Assuring all employees that their concerns will not be met with reprisals and establishing a process for voicing such concerns.

The authors appreciate the efforts of the current County Administrator and intend to take a stronger leadership role in combatting the “malaise” among staff.
