Summary

Commission voted to form a hiring committee for the county attorney position including the COO, chairman, two commissioners and one citizen applicant; commissioners set a target to complete committee selection by Oct. 1.

Under old business, the commission reviewed applications and discussed creating a county-attorney hiring committee. The chair proposed a six-member committee that would include the COO (Mr. Barrett), the chairman, two commissioners and one citizen applicant selected from those who apply.

Commissioners discussed keeping the committee small and noted the COO had asked to serve. The chair said if multiple citizens apply the five commissioners on the committee would select the citizen member. Commissioners discussed a timeline and agreed to aim to have the selection completed by Oct. 1.

A motion to form the hiring committee along the proposed lines was made and seconded; the commission voted to approve the committee formation and asked staff to accept citizen applications at the commission office.
