Commission votes to terminate an employee and place another on administrative leave after executive session
Summary
Following an executive session for personnel and contractual matters, commissioners voted to terminate one employee for misconduct and to place another on administrative leave pending investigation.
After returning from an executive session held for contractual and personnel matters pursuant to SDCL (as cited in the meeting), the Yankton County Commission disclosed two personnel decisions and acted in open session.
A motion was made to terminate an employee for misconduct; the motion, made by Ryan and seconded by Don, carried. Commissioners then voted to place a separate employee on administrative leave pending investigation; that motion was made by Wanda and seconded by Ryan and also carried.
Nut graf: The commission used its statutory executive-session authority to consider personnel matters and then took formal personnel actions in open session, resulting in one termination for misconduct and one administrative leave pending investigation.
The motions were made and carried without further public detail; commissioners indicated actions followed the executive-session review and that additional internal documentation would be maintained according to county personnel procedures.
Ending: Commissioners provided no additional public details about the personnel matters beyond the motions and votes; personnel records and any investigative steps will be handled under county personnel rules.
