After returning from an executive session, the Steele County Commission voted to place an individual on paid leave through Dec. 31 and to terminate employment at the end of that day.

Speaker 4 moved for the paid leave and termination schedule; Brandon made the motion, it was seconded and the transcript reports the motion as carried. The record provided does not identify the individual or the specific office/position affected, nor does it include a roll-call vote.

The commission’s public minutes note only the formal motion and its approval; the transcript does not include underlying details from the executive session, consistent with the confidential nature of such sessions. Any further administrative steps or appeals were not described in the public record.
