Allen County approves three-day unpaid suspension for Job and Family Services employee
Summary
Following an executive session under ORC 121.22(G)(1), the board approved a three-day unpaid suspension for a Department of Job and Family Services employee after a personnel presentation by Joe Patton; the action was approved unanimously under Resolution 280‑26.
The Board of Allen County Commissioners on April 14 approved a three‑day unpaid suspension for an employee of the Allen County Department of Job and Family Services.
The board entered executive session at 9:01 a.m. under Ohio Revised Code §121.22(G)(1) to discuss potential disciplinary action following a personnel presentation by Joe Patton. The meeting record states Joe Patton remained present during the executive session and outlined the reasoning for the proposed discipline.
After returning to general session at 9:09 a.m., the board voted to approve Resolution #280‑26, implementing a three‑day unpaid suspension. Commissioner Cory Noonan made the motion to approve; Commissioner Brian Winegardner seconded. The roll call vote was unanimous.
Because this personnel discussion occurred in executive session and the minutes summarize the board’s action, the meeting record provides no additional factual detail about the personnel matter beyond the suspension and that the board agreed with the proposed three‑day penalty.
The board did not identify further investigatory steps or additional personnel actions at the session.
