Commissioners weigh meeting schedule as member announces departure
Summary
Commissioners discussed whether to reschedule upcoming meetings to allow attendance at an inauguration and to let an interim county manager take charge; a long-serving member announced this would be their last meeting and the board adjourned.
During routine business at a Clay County Board of Commissioners meeting, members debated scheduling around an upcoming inauguration and the county’s staffing change, and a long-serving member announced this would be their final meeting.
Speaker 3 and Speaker 2 raised the possibility of rescheduling a meeting because several members plan to attend an inauguration. Speaker 1 (chair) noted the board will be "down a full time county manager" and said the next meeting is scheduled for Jan. 22, but argued the board should meet on Jan. 8 so the interim county manager can "take the helm on the eighth" and address outstanding issues.
Later in the meeting, Speaker 4 announced it would be their last meeting after almost eight years of service and thanked colleagues, staff and the new county attorney. "It has been an honor of a lifetime," Speaker 4 said. The chair closed the meeting with holiday wishes and adjourned without a recorded roll-call vote.
No formal votes or motions were recorded on the scheduling question in the transcript; the board concluded the session with a formal adjournment.
