Linn County to move GIS staff from auditor to board
Linn County supervisors plan to move six GIS employees from Auditor Joel Miller’s office to the board’s management. The move would reduce Miller’s staff to about 13 and follows a prior reallocation of facilities staff. Miller says the plan ignores state law granting auditors audit power and may prompt court action.
