County Manager Joy Leverett provided a brief county-manager's report on July 3. Leverett thanked Public Works, Emergency Management, Fire and EMS personnel for their response to a June 7 windstorm that caused outages across parts of Dawson County; she said there were no reported injuries.

Leverett also noted the June 17 grand opening for Stiles Park, thanked staff and community partners for the event, and said a few finishing touches (trail signs) remained. She reminded commissioners that county offices would be closed July 4 for the holiday. Leverett closed by requesting an executive session that evening for potential litigation.

The chair acknowledged the report and the session moved on; the matters were presented during the county-manager report portion of the work session.
