Summary

The commission approved Joseph Dryden, an applicant from Lebanon and a former police officer and firefighter now working in insurance claims, for a one-year part-time judicial commissioner position starting Dec. 1.

The Wilson County commissioners voted to approve Joseph Dryden for a one-year part-time judicial commissioner term starting Dec. 1. Corey, who presented Dryden's application, told the commission Dryden —I handed you a handout. Joseph Dryden from, he lives in Lebanon. He's applied for my last part time position.—

Corey said Dryden served as a patrolman in the 1980s, worked as a special agent in an insurance investigations bureau and had duties as a fire-prevention officer, and that Dryden —stayed with us about 2 hours in the interview.— A motion to approve the one-year appointment was moved and seconded; commissioners voted by voice and the chair recorded the ayes.

Corey said the appointee would begin training as soon as practicable and that the office aimed for a Dec. 1 start date. Staff indicated they would place the appointment on the commission agenda and inform the full judicial commission.

The appointment was passed by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.

The action will be entered on the commission's agenda and scheduled for the judicial commission meeting for formal placement and onboarding.
