Sheriff’s nomination of Father Edward Steiner to Work Release Commission withdrawn temporarily for health reasons
Summary
The committee was told on July 1 that the sheriff’s direct appointment of Father Edward Steiner to the Work Release Commission was withdrawn temporarily because of Steiner’s health and the commission’s current inactivity; the sheriff intends to reappoint him once the commission resumes.
The Rules, Confirmation and Public Elections Committee on July 1 withdrew the sheriff’s nomination of Father Edward Steiner to the Work Release Commission, citing Steiner’s recent knee replacements and the commission’s current inactivity under state law.
Committee members were told the nomination is a direct appointment from the sheriff’s department and that the item had been deferred four times previously, most recently at the June 6 meeting. Committee leaders said the withdrawal is temporary and would not affect the commission’s operations because the board is not currently meeting under a state-law-related pause. The chair said it is the sheriff’s intent that “once the commission gets back up and running that Father Steiner will be reappointed to this position.”
No vote was taken on the appointment; the nomination was withdrawn from consideration at this meeting. Committee members did not request further action at this time.
