Lee County board bans animals in courthouse, retains Dane Poe and appoints county administrator
Summary
The Lee County Board of Supervisors approved a prohibition on animals in the courthouse (with medical exceptions to be reviewed by the county attorney), retained Dane Poe as a part-time contract employee for up to six months, and carried a motion appointing Plea Carter as county administrator; all motions passed by voice vote.
During the reports and recommendations portion of the meeting, Speaker 1 moved to prohibit animals in the courthouse (with limited exceptions for employees). The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. Speaker 2 asked that medical exceptions be checked with the county attorney before final implementation: "If they got, I don't know, medical reasons of some kind, it'd have to be Doctor. That's for employees. But run that by the attorney and see what she says too."
Later in the session, the board moved into closed session citing deployment personnel and investing of public funds. After returning to open session, Speaker 1 made a motion to retain Dane Poe as a part-time employee for up to six months to assist with the transition in the county administrator's office; that motion was seconded and the record shows the motion carried. The retention was described as a short-term, part-time contract assignment to facilitate transition activity.
The board also recorded a motion to appoint Plea Carter as county administrator; the motion was seconded and the transcript indicates the motion "carried unanimously." The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn; the board adjourned until February.
The minutes document voice votes and procedural action; no formal roll-call vote tally or dollar amounts for the employment arrangement were provided in the transcript.
