Alleghany commissioners reorganize leadership, appoint clerk and county attorney, adopt rules and ethics
Summary
The board elected a vice chair, confirmed Lisa Ashley as clerk and Mackenzie Hudson as deputy clerk, reappointed Heather Klein as county attorney, and adopted board rules and a code of ethics; several appointments and adoptions carried by unanimous or near-unanimous voice votes.
Alleghany County commissioners completed routine organizational business, electing leadership, confirming clerical appointments and reappointing the county attorney before adopting procedural rules and a code of ethics.
Heather Klein (county legal) opened nominations for board chair and vice chair; a nomination was placed for Bill Osborn for chair and Mike Garrison Wagner was nominated and confirmed as vice chair. The board appointed Lisa Ashley as clerk to the board and Mackenzie Hudson as deputy clerk; motions were moved and seconded and the transcript records favorable voice votes. The board also moved and approved the reappointment of Heather Klein as county attorney for another year, with a recorded vote of 5-0.
The board adopted its rules and procedures and the Board of Commissioners code of ethics after motions and seconds; both items were approved with voice votes recorded in the transcript, which indicates unanimous consent.
In brief commissioner comments that followed, members offered holiday greetings, road-safety reminders and encouragement to support local businesses and a local craft fair at the Emerson Black Building. The meeting adjourned after a closing motion.
Next steps: these procedural items establish leadership and administrative staffing for the coming year; the transcript does not record changes to substantive county policy in this portion of the meeting.
