County reports: active-shooter training praised; two staff resignations approved
Summary
County department heads reported on operations including successful active-shooter training and upcoming dust-control; the board approved two personnel resignations effective April and May and approved payroll reimbursements and appointment letters.
County department heads provided routine updates during the April 28 meeting. Maintenance Director Rodney Bliesener said work on the Sheriff's parking lot is progressing and thanked participants in last week's active-shooter training, which he said "went very well." Sheriff Kevin Glendening echoed that the trainings are meant to "learn and improve our safety," and confirmed the training was successful; he also reported that a storm siren failure was traced to a bad switch that staff are repairing.
County Auditor Sara Doty said she is certifying incoming city and school budgets and is preparing for the upcoming primary election. County Engineer Brian Carter reminded the public that campaign signs are not allowed in the right of way and that countywide dust control will begin the next day. Assistant Land Use Administrator Jarred Lassiter reported increased inquiries for subdivisions as weather improves. Conservation Director Chris Lee noted several field trips at Starrs Cave this month; the Conservation Facebook page lists upcoming activities.
The board approved payroll reimbursement claims of $624.24 and accepted personnel actions: resignation of Alex Schnedler, Lead Maintenance, effective May 22, 2026, and resignation of Diane Schneden, Victim Witness Coordinator in the County Attorney’s office, effective April 23, 2026. The meeting minutes note Terri Quartucci has submitted her resignation; the minutes do not provide further detail on that item. Motions for approvals were moved and seconded as recorded.
