Summary

The Board of County Commissioners presented annual employee recognition plaques to staff across multiple departments and named three top honorees: Kaylee Tapley (Treasurer's Office), Candace Chapman (digital transition project) and Richard White (Public Works).

The board held its employee recognition portion of the meeting, reading nominations submitted by peers and presenting plaques to each nominee. Nominees came from multiple departments including Environmental Health, Public Works, Office of Public Defense, the jail, Information Technology, Treasurer's Office and others. The board then announced three top honorees: Kaylee Tapley from the Treasurer’s Office, Candace Chapman for leading a major digital transition project, and Richard White of Public Works for workplace leadership and morale.

Chairman Dahl and colleagues thanked nominees and winners for their service; no formal policy action accompanied the recognition portion — it was ceremonial.
