After executive session, board lifts two brief pay suspensions, keeps others suspended
Summary
Following an executive session on personnel matters, the board voted to restore 32 hours of pay to Shelley Brinkley and to a second employee identified in the transcript as "earnest sweep," while continuing suspension of duties for part-time animal control staff pending further review.
After returning from executive session the Richland County board acted on personnel matters involving animal control staff.
A motion to lift the pay suspension for Shelley Brinkley for 32 hours for the pay period ending June 1 was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. A second motion to lift a 32-hour pay suspension for an employee identified in the record as "earnest sweep" for the same pay period was also approved. A third motion continued the suspension of duties for part-time animal control employees pending further discussion and review.
Board members emphasized that personnel discussions had to be held in executive session and that any motions or votes would be announced in public after the session. No further disciplinary details were read into the public record at this meeting.
Next steps: the board will continue personnel discussions as needed and bring any additional motions into open session after executive session deliberations.
