The Greene County Board of Commissioners elected leadership for the coming year at its regular meeting. An unidentified commissioner moved to nominate Danny Heath as chairman, the board closed nominations and approved the nomination by voice vote. Commissioners then nominated and approved Jerry Jones as vice chairman by voice vote.

The board also approved an amendment to the meeting agenda to add agenda item E1: a presentation of a flag flown over the state capitol to local veteran Ray Holloman, and to change the later agenda item J to a closed session for attorney-client privilege under the cited state statute. The amended agenda was approved by voice vote.

Following the procedural votes, commissioners moved and approved entering closed session later in the meeting for attorney-client privileged communication, citing the board’s statutory authority for such sessions. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.

The actions recorded in the meeting minutes were procedural and personnel in nature: election of officers, approval of an amended agenda, and approval to enter closed session. No formal policy votes or ordinance adoptions were taken during this portion of the meeting. The board did not take public comment on these items before voting.

Next steps: the board moved into closed session as authorized and adjourned; any minutes or outcomes relating to attorney-client matters will be handled according to law and not discussed in open session.
