Summary

After the District Attorney and Probate Judge requested additional review, commissioners tabled the revised security camera and badge reader usage policy (4-1). Staff member Jake said some requested changes were inapplicable and that, until formally instructed otherwise, he would 'act as if this policy was in place.'

The Franklin County board tabled a revised Security Camera & Badge Reader Usage Policy on Dec. 16 after the District Attorney and Probate Judge asked for more time to review the draft. The motion to table passed 4-1, with Commissioner Bob Carlton registering the lone opposed vote.

According to the minutes, Jake — who revised the policy based on board feedback — told commissioners that some requested changes were not applicable and that, in the absence of a formal policy on footage handling, he intended to "act as if this policy was in place." Commissioners agreed to delay adoption to allow the DA and Probate Judge additional review time.

The minutes do not record a specific new adoption date; the motion to table indicates the board expects further review and possible revision after stakeholders' input.

Next steps: DA and Probate Judge to review policy draft; administration to return the revised policy to the board for further action.
