Commissioners appoint Commissioner Leslie Duncan as interim adult misdemeanor probation director
Summary
After an executive session called under Idaho Code 74‑206(1)(b), the Board appointed Commissioner Leslie Duncan as interim director for adult misdemeanor probation until a new hire is ready.
The Kootenai County Board of Commissioners entered executive session on June 18, 2025, under Idaho Code 74‑206(1)(b) and later appointed Commissioner Leslie Duncan as interim director for adult misdemeanor probation until the new hire can assume the role.
A motion to enter executive session citing Idaho Code 74‑206(1)(b) was made and seconded; the recorded votes prior to the executive session were affirmative. After returning to open session, a motion was made to exit with no decisions announced during the executive session. The board then moved to appoint Commissioner Leslie Duncan as interim director; the motion carried on a recorded affirmative vote.
The board recorded the vote as Commissioner Eberline: Aye; Commissioner Duncan: Aye; Chair Metari: Aye. The appointment is interim "until our new hire is ready to take over," as stated during the meeting. No additional details about duration, compensation changes, or specific duties beyond the interim assignment were stated in open session.
The board’s cited authority for the executive session, Idaho Code 74‑206(1)(b), allows consideration of personnel matters not appropriate for public discussion. The board stated it made no decisions during the closed session; the interim appointment was made after reconvening in open session.
