Summary

The commission voted to eliminate two vacant cook positions at the county jail effective Feb. 1. Commissioners asked staff to clarify which positions will be removed and to follow up next week with exact personnel details.

S3 stated the commission needed to officially eliminate two cook positions at the jail. S4 moved to eliminate the two positions effective Feb. 1; S3 called the vote and recorded the motion as approved by voice vote.

S2 said he would meet with Corey (staff) to identify which specific positions would be permanently removed and whether any positions must be retained for service continuity. Commissioners noted that two cook positions were active and two had been filled by temporary services; staff will return next week with clarification on which positions are being eliminated and whether any needed roles should remain.

The commission recorded the motion and will update personnel records and payroll as needed after staff confirms the exact positions. The action was taken as administrative workforce reduction for vacant roles rather than a personnel discipline matter.

Next steps: S2 to confirm exact positions with staff and report back at the next meeting.
