A public commenter accused Miles Davidson of repeated harassment and an assault and called for his resignation during a Sept. 11 meeting; meeting members afterward voted to fill leadership roles for the remainder of 2025 and move Commissioner Lowe onto the CED board.

The allegation came during the meeting's public-comment period when Mister Folk read a statement he said was from a victim. Folk said the statement described repeated incidents beginning in November 2023, an alleged sexual assault on May 13, 2025, and subsequent harassment including texts and social-media contacts in July and August 2025. Folk read, “This harassment escalated on 05/13/25 to [an] assault when Miles Davidson grabbed my breasts and attempted to kiss me.” He later read the statement's request that “Miles Davidson needs to resign not just from these committees and not just as a chair, but to resign from his position as a county commissioner.”

The victim statement as read by Folk said the victim repeatedly told the alleged assailant to stop and described efforts by the alleged assailant to contact the victim and the victim’s colleagues. Folk also told the meeting, “It's also true that, statistically, 95% of the time, victims are telling the truth. I believe the victim in this.” The transcript does not show any formal investigation or disciplinary action taken during the meeting on the allegation.

After public comment, members considered agenda item one: the election of a chairman and vice chairman for the remainder of 2025. A motion was made proposing leadership appointments that included Brian Vaughn and Commissioner Lowe; a second was recorded and the motion passed by voice vote. The transcript records the chairing vote as “All those in favor? Aye. Aye.” The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or list which member moved or seconded by name. The record shows the chairing motion passed by voice vote and that Commissioner Lowe was to “ascend … to the CED board,” language used by a member during the motion discussion.

Commissioner Lowe responded to the appointment, saying, “I would like to say I'm personally grateful to serve in this new capacity, and I'm ready to get to work for my constituents in District 1.” The transcript does not provide Lowe’s first name. The meeting opening recorded that “all 3 members are present” and that the meeting had been posted on Sept. 9, 2025.

No formal action on the harassment allegation appears in the transcript. The statement was presented during public comment and members proceeded with leadership elections and routine adjournment. The transcript does not show any staff report, motion, referral, or request for investigation tied to the allegation during this session.

The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn, taken by voice vote.
