Vilas County to merge two highway positions

Tuesday, January 17, 2012

In an effort to save tax payer money, Vilas County will consolidate two positions in their highway department.

Jarred Maney was selected to take over the new role. He is currently the interim highway commissioner. His new role would include both the highway commissioner and patrol superintendent.

Members of their county board said that the department understands tight budgets and the need to run the it with less personnel. They feel this will be future savings on behalf of Vilas County tax payers.

The resolution to hire Maney for a two year term goes before the full county board meeting next Tuesday.
