Commission votes to hire Jacob Bylinenberg as county counselor, pending contract and financial terms

Following executive session, the Bourbon County Commission moved to offer the county counselor position to Jacob Bylinenberg and to proceed pending final contract and financial agreement.

A motion was placed on the floor to hire Jacob Bylinenberg as county counselor, conditional on an agreed contract and financial terms. The motion was seconded and the chair called the vote; the commission recorded the motion as approved. The hiring is contingent on completion of the contractual and financial details before a final employment agreement is signed.

The commission directed that the county clerk's office and the chairman work with counsel (once engaged) to finalize a written contract and to return the executed agreement to the board for public record.

No salary or specific contract terms were read into the record at the time of motion; the transcript records only that the hiring is "pending financial and contract agreement." The board asked staff to prepare the necessary paperwork and to report back with the final terms for formal execution.
