The DeKalb County Community Corrections Board voted to remove three board members who did not respond to outreach about attendance and vacancies.
Speaker 3 said she had emailed three members (identified in the meeting as Lily Hand, Tammy Fakke and Jeremiah Otis) and had pasted the relevant sections of the board bylaws about absences and vacancies into the agenda. After discussion, Speaker 1 moved to remove the three nonresponsive individuals so commissioners could begin recruiting replacements; Speaker 2 seconded and the motion passed by voice vote with "Aye." Speaker 1 said staff would notify the county commissioners so they can start the appointment process.
The board also discussed scheduling reappointment votes for members whose terms expire in 2026 and asked staff to place reappointment decisions on the February meeting agenda.
