Commissioners ratify community corrections board appointments recommended by Judge Hill
Summary
The board ratified a slate of community corrections members recommended by Judge Hill, including three lay members and representatives from probation, education, mental health and an ex‑offender applicant; one lay vacancy remains to be filled.
County staff reported that Judge Hill provided a recommended slate of appointees to the community corrections board. The list presented to commissioners included lay members Carol Ginn, Heather Carlson and Deborah Adams; an ex‑offender applicant, Kirk Lewick; probation officers Abe Jenkins and Jeffrey Bradley; school superintendent Jim Jamieson as administrative representative; and Amanda Lawrence for mental health services. Staff said one lay position remains open.
Speaker 5 asked commissioners to ratify the appointments; a motion and second were recorded and the board approved the slate by voice vote. Commissioners discussed whether the county should advertise the remaining opening and confirmed the appointments would serve four‑year terms as provided by statute, according to the staff report.
No formal roll‑call was recorded in the transcript. Staff said they will proceed with any required public notice to fill the outstanding position and will confirm terms and filing with Judge Hill.
The board also discussed the membership and the need to ensure appropriate representation for juvenile probation, education and other statutorily required seats.
