Kandiyohi Co., Minn., to review Springsted study

WILLMAR -- The Kandiyohi County Board of Commissioners will hold a special meeting from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday to review the first phase of Springsted's county redesign study.

The study includes the auditor/treasurer, assessor and recorder's departments.

The meeting will be in the commissioners' board room at the County Health and Human Services Building, 2200 23rd St. N.E.

The county board hired Springsted Inc. -- a company that specializes in advising public sector entities -- to study how county departments could be combined and work together under one umbrella.

Officials have said streamlining the system could eliminate duplication of paperwork and overlapping services.
