Broadwater County commissioners delegate employee-grievance response to county attorney

A commissioner moved that Broadwater County delegate its formal response to an employee human-resources grievance to the county attorney's office, and another commissioner seconded the motion. The board approved the action by voice vote after hearing no public comment.

The motion was introduced during the reopened public portion of the meeting when a commissioner said, "I would move to delegate the response of this employee grievance to the county attorney's office." Another commissioner replied, "And I will second that motion." The presiding official asked for public comment; none was offered. The presiding official then called for the vote: "Hearing none, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye." The commissioners answered and the presiding official announced the motion passed.

The action is a delegation of the county's response; the transcript records no names or roll-call vote for the mover, the seconder, or individual votes. The record also does not specify any timeline, scope, or conditions attached to the county attorney's response. The transcript contains no indication of further direction to staff, any amendment to the motion, or any public commenters speaking to the grievance.

The meeting moved toward adjournment after the vote. The transcript does not include a schedule for next steps or a date by which the county attorney must respond.
