Josephine County commissioners announced May 11 that they will return Airports Manager Michael Crissafulli from administrative leave effective 8:00 a.m. the following morning, and directed him to report to Commissioner Gary Richardson until the board gives further direction.

Chair Ron Smith convened the session and the board held an executive session under ORS 192.660(2)(b), the state statute allowing closed deliberations on dismissal or discipline of public employees. Minutes from the executive session were filed separately, the board said.

Commissioner Gary Richardson told the board that it was taking "specific steps" and described the meeting as the next step in that process; after the executive session he announced the personnel action and the board "directed staff to proceed without objection." The action restores Crissafulli to duty and establishes a temporary reporting arrangement to Commissioner Richardson, the board said.

The meeting record lists Michelle Shaw from human resources and reporters from the Daily Courier and Grants Pass Tribune among those noted as present. The board adjourned at 3:35 p.m.

No formal motion or roll-call vote is recorded in the open transcript; the board's direction to staff to proceed without objection is recorded as the basis for implementing the personnel change. Executive-session minutes are filed separately and may contain additional details about the board's deliberations.
