The board approved retirement benefits for four county employees after staff confirmed each qualifies under the applicable retirement rules.
Item number 7 (Steven Schottenkirk, District 3) was introduced as qualifying for retirement; board members moved and seconded approval and the motion carried by voice vote. Thomas Harlow, who worked in the county clerk's office, likewise qualified and the board approved his retirement benefits after a motion and second. The board also approved retirement for Jacob Benedict, a long-time employee of the public defender's office, and for Andre Hayes from juvenile services; each item was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Votes were recorded by voice with members saying "Aye"; individual roll-call tallies were not specified in the transcript. No amendments or conditions were noted when the board approved the benefits.
