A debate about structural changes in the Shawano County finance department is being postponed until August.
County Board Chairman Jerry Erdmann has canceled the July board meeting and told board members the finance department will be discussed in August.
A county committee is recommending reassigning the finance director’s duties to two other county employees who would receive pay raises. Finance Director Diane Rusch retired in May after more than 20 years on the job.
The same committee has approved combining the finance and administration departments, although officials say that change is not subject to County Board approval.
In a Thursday memo, Erdmann told board members the finance director duties would be “fully addressed” at the Aug. 26 meeting.
