Kewaunee County could not find its next administrator after the first wave of interviews for the position.  Ed Dorner, the interim county administrator who replaced Scott Feldt earlier this year after he retired, told the Board of Supervisors at Tuesday’s meeting that 16 applications were screened. Four interviews were conducted, narrowing the field to two.  Dorner notes the eventual finalist for the position pulled out of consideration after citing housing costs.

Public Administration Associates (PAA) will now help continue the search for a new administrator and recommends extending applications beyond the end of the year.  In other business, the 2024 budget and 2023 tax levy were approved by a 17-2 vote.  The Board then went into a closed session to discuss the county administrator position in more detail and returned without further action.
