Commissioners recognized an administrative error on the agenda, moved to add personnel action items and then approved several hires during the July 24 meeting. After the addition to the agenda, the board approved three personnel actions: two prison personnel assistants and the hiring of Shannon Barnes as director of management operations.

Nikki, a county HR presenter, read the personnel actions into the record: Julie Morlock, personnel assistant (part time, pay grade 5, not to exceed 1,000 hours annually) effective July 14, 2025; Jennifer Tedesco, personnel assistant (full time, pay grade 5) effective July 14, 2025; and Shannon Barnes, director of management operations (pay grade 13), full time at $105,000 per year with an anticipated start date of July 31, 2025. Commissioners voted to approve the hires after a motion and second.

Separately, the board approved resolution 2025-16 appointing additional assistant solicitors (Cali Bento and Nicholas Grimes) and removing Jay David Smith and William Barney from that roster; the resolution passed on the record. After closing routine business, a commissioner requested a brief executive session for a personnel matter.

The meeting record does not include additional details about the executive session topic beyond that it was requested to discuss personnel.
