Sedgwick County seeks to add a Comcare deputy director position funded from Comcare revenue

County leadership proposed adding a Comcare deputy director to the staffing table, a position county staff said has been under discussion for several years and has now been defined. The county indicated the position will be funded from Comcare revenue and that management intends to fill it through an internal hiring process.

"This is for a Comcare deputy director, which we have been aspiring to define and implement for several years," the commissioner who presented the item said. Officials named Anna, Michelle and Sheena as having worked to define the role; the commission did not vote on the item during the agenda read and staff said they would answer questions about the implementation process.
