A substantive discussion at the meeting focused on the county administrator position and how the role should structure oversight for county operations.

A commissioner asked what had changed in recent years to require additional management. Speaker 2 defended the administrator role, noting the size and complexity of county finances: "When you look at a $30,000,000 budget ... you gotta have control," he said, arguing the administrator provides continuity, gathers information, and coordinates department heads rather than having residents contact multiple commissioners.

Commissioners discussed forming a management team that would report to the county administrator. Speaker 2 said the team is "in the process" and an organizational chart would be prepared in January so department heads could meet and provide consolidated information to all three commissioners. The board agreed they did not seek micromanagement but wanted results, oversight and a single source of administrative communication.

No formal vote was required and no structural positions were finalized at the meeting; commissioners emphasized follow‑up in a work session and requested the administrator provide the detailed responsibilities and a draft organizational chart next month.
