Pratt County commissioners convened an executive session to discuss non-elected personnel evaluations and later met in a separate attorney–client session. They returned to open session and approved several personnel actions.

During open session after the evaluation executive session, the board voted to give a $1-per-hour salary increase to two clerk’s-office employees, Susan Pixler and Tricia Clark. The motion to approve the pay adjustment carried 3-0. The meeting record indicates the pay action is limited to the clerk’s office employees named in the motion.

Separately, the commission accepted the resignation of Bill Hampton from the role of county fire and rescue chief, effective July 31, 2025. The board instructed staff to advertise the vacancy. Commissioners thanked Hampton for his service; no additional personnel appointments were made at the meeting.

Minutes show the board recessed into multiple short executive sessions: one five-minute session on non-elected personnel and a later 15-minute attorney–client session. The record indicates some executive sessions ended with “no action taken” recorded, while the personnel actions in open session (the clerk raises and the fire chief resignation) were approved by formal motions recorded in the minutes.
