Board fixes employee-handbook attachment, approves multiple ordinances and names Catherine Huff to Historic Preservation Commission
Summary
The board identified a mismatched employee-handbook version attached to Ordinance 8724 and said staff will substitute the council‑approved version; the board approved a set of ordinances (8124, 8224, 8324, 8424) and approved Ordinance 8724 as amended. Catherine Huff was nominated and appointed to the Historic Preservation Commission.
A county staff member drew the board’s attention to a discrepancy between the employee handbook text attached to Ordinance 8724 and the version actually approved by the county council. The speaker said the attached ordinance packet contained an earlier draft that included an exemption for a director (Ducomb) while the council-approved version did not, and that the county attorney will substitute the correct, council‑approved handbook language on the ordinance packet.
Earlier in the meeting the board moved to pass Ordinances 8124, 8224, 8324 and 8424; after a motion and recorded 'Aye' votes by several commissioners the chair stated the ordinances carried and were approved. The board then moved to approve Ordinance 8724 "as amended" and recorded votes; the motion carried and 8724 was approved.
The board opened nominations for an appointment to the Historic Preservation Commission. Catherine Huff was nominated; the nominator noted she "has served previously as counsel to the Historic Preservation Commission." After nominations were closed, a motion to appoint Catherine Huff was made and carried.
County staff indicated they will ensure the ordinance packet is updated to reflect the council‑approved handbook version prior to finalization. The record shows the board acted to approve the listed ordinances and completed the appointment during the meeting.
