Johnson County Commission convenes executive session to interview appraiser candidates

The special meeting of the Johnson County Board of County Commissioners convened on February 17, 2025, at 12:30 PM, chaired by Mike Kelly. The primary agenda focused on conducting interviews for the appraiser position, necessitating an executive session to ensure candidate privacy.

Following the roll call, all commissioners were present. Commissioner Hanslick proposed a motion to enter an executive session at 12:33 PM for a duration of 3 hours and 45 minutes, including periodic breaks. The session aimed to interview non-elected candidates for the appraiser role, with key personnel from the county's management and human resources departments, as well as representatives from Omni HR Consulting, in attendance.

The motion received unanimous support from all commissioners present, confirming the board's commitment to a thorough and confidential selection process. The meeting was then recessed to proceed with the executive session, scheduled to reconvene at 4:18 PM.

This meeting underscores the county's dedication to maintaining a transparent and professional hiring process for critical positions within the local government. Further updates on the outcome of the interviews are anticipated following the conclusion of the session.
