Resident urges review of FMLA handling; board holds executive session on pending litigation
Summary
A resident raised concerns about the county's handling of FMLA paperwork and a termination; the board entered executive session on pending litigation (10:40–11:05 a.m.) and returned with no decision recorded.
Janice Harrop appeared before the Custer County Board of Supervisors on May 12 on behalf of her sister, Angel Prelle, to raise concerns about how the county handled paperwork and the timing of a termination.
Harrop told the board that Angel Prelle’s Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave was exhausted on May 7 and that employment was terminated May 8; Harrop said they were informed of the termination by Jordan Arndt with Zelle Human Resource Solutions. The board acknowledged the concerns and the minutes state that the board agreed changes need to be made.
Later in the meeting the board voted (motion by Parliament, second Govier) to go into executive session at 10:40 a.m. to discuss pending litigation “necessary for the protection of the public interest, or needless injury to the reputation of an individual.” The board exited executive session at 11:05 a.m.; the minutes state no decision was made during the executive session. Kleeb and Longmore were assigned to make the quarterly jail visit.
The minutes do not record any corrective actions, personnel decisions or details of the alleged procedural lapses beyond the public comment and the executive-session notation. The transcript does not specify whether follow-up actions were directed to a particular county office or staff member.
