At the start of the special meeting, a commissioner moved to approve the agenda while removing the consent-agenda items from that day’s business. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Bryant and carried after an oral roll call: the chair and participating commissioners signaled assent and the chair stated the motion "carried unanimously." The amended agenda governed the remainder of the session, which consisted primarily of candidate interviews and procedural questions about the ranking process.

The vote was recorded by voice/hand in the meeting; commissioners later discussed scheduling a final selection vote for the county attorney post at the board's February meeting.
