Members of a Stephenson County committee moved to approve an employment agreement for the director of the Stephenson County Emergency Management Agency during a brief portion of the meeting. Ms. Hayes moved the action and Ms. Buchanan seconded, according to the meeting transcript; the transcript does not include a recorded vote tally or final outcome.

The motion was introduced by an unnamed committee member, who said, “I make I make a motion to approve a contract for the employment agreement for the director of the Stephenson County Emergency Management Agency to approve as presented,” and then sought a second. The transcript records the second as “moved by Miss Hayes, second by Miss Buchanan.”

Committee members asked for questions after the motion and an exchange about public comment occurred; the transcript shows a call for public comment but does not record any public commenters addressing this item. Later remarks included informal discussion and brief remarks to Chairman Bush, but no additional details about the agreement’s salary, term, or conditions were provided in the transcript.

The meeting record supplied does not list the dollar amount, term length, effective date, or any conditions attached to the employment agreement. It also does not show a vote tally (yes/no/abstain) or a formal announcement that the motion passed. Because those details are not in the transcript, they are not reported here.

If the committee follows normal procedure, any approved employment agreement would be reflected in the official minutes or in a subsequently published contract; those records were not part of the provided transcript.
