Commissioners schedule interviews, enter closed session to evaluate emergency manager candidates
Summary
The board opened the meeting, announced candidate interviews for an emergency manager position and recessed into an executive session to evaluate applicants under the non‑elected personnel exception.
The Crawford County Board of Commissioners announced interviews and recessed into closed executive sessions to evaluate applicants for the county emergency manager position.
At the start of the meeting, a 90‑minute closed session was requested under the county’s non‑elected personnel exception so commissioners, County Councilor Jim Emerson and the applicants could participate. The board conducted multiple interviews on the meeting day and scheduled two additional candidate interviews for a future meeting; the board said it would open the meeting publicly, then recess into executive session for candidate evaluation, consistent with the personnel exception cited.
The board set times for the remaining interviews and said it would reconvene in public after executive sessions. No hiring decision was announced at the meeting; evaluation and candidate interviews continued in closed session as allowed by the personnel exception.
Ending: Commissioners said they will continue the process and report any final appointment when a public action is taken.
