Summary
At a Franklin County Board of Commissioners meeting, members amended the agenda to add four items and approved hiring Jeremy Jansky as jail captain, authorized contract discussions with jail Director Harmon and Tri City Monitoring, and approved a resolution realigning the Clerk of the Board's operational role.
At a Franklin County Board of Commissioners meeting, members voted to amend the agenda to add four items and approved a set of personnel and contract actions affecting the county jail and the Clerk of the Board.
The board authorized the county administrator to enter into contract discussions with jail Director Harmon and to return next week with a proposed contract for the board's review; hired Jeremy Jansky as captain of the Franklin County Jail; authorized contract discussions with Tri City Monitoring; and approved Resolution 2025-133 rescinding Resolution 2025-130 concerning the Clerk of the Board's operational role alignment.
Commissioners first moved to amend the agenda to add the four items. A commissioner moved the amendment and another commissioner seconded; the chair called for the vote and members answered in the affirmative. After the agenda was amended, the board took the listed actions in turn.
On Director Harmon, the board voted to authorize the county administrator to enter into contract discussions with Harmon and to return to the board next week with a contract for review. The motion was made and seconded and then approved by voice vote.
The board then moved to hire Jeremy Jansky as captain of the Franklin County Jail. The motion to hire Jansky was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Next, the county administrator was authorized to enter into contract discussions with Tri City Monitoring. That motion was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Finally, the board approved a motion to rescind Resolution 2025-130 and adopt Resolution 2025-133 regarding the Clerk of the Board's operational role alignment. That motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
There was brief administrative discussion about an audio problem that interrupted the meeting's broadcast; a staff member confirmed the audio issue was fixed and the board repeated the amended-agenda motion after the fix. At the meeting's close, a county staff member identified as Mr. Danzel recommended calling a specially advertised meeting if additional action were needed; he noted a 24-hour advertisement requirement for special meetings and that scheduling one for Friday would be difficult under that timeline.
The meeting then adjourned.
