Board reads resignation letter for Alycia Neighbours; chair authorized to sign separation paperwork
Summary
The board read a resignation letter from employee Alycia Neighbours citing stress after an unedited Facebook post and encounters with a commissioner; the board authorized the chair to sign separation paperwork and confirmed Neighbours' last day was April 8.
The Sumner County Library Board on April 23 read a resignation letter from employee Alycia Neighbours and authorized the chair to sign termination and separation paperwork.
Chair Joanna Daniels read Neighbours' letter, which said she experienced significant stress after an unedited letter was posted on Facebook by Charlena Aumiller and described encounters with Commissioner Shannon Burgdorf that also caused stress. The chair said Neighbours' last day of work was April 8 and confirmed that she would be eligible for rehire.
Commissioner Shannon Burgdorf said Neighbours did not serve a full two-week notice. The board then approved a motion (moved by Jim Holcomb and seconded by Mike Bryan) giving the chair authority to sign any necessary separation documents for Neighbours.
The transcript records the reasons Neighbours cited in her letter but does not show a formal response from the person she referenced (Charlena Aumiller) or an in-meeting rebuttal from Commissioner Burgdorf beyond the comment about notice. No additional personnel actions or disciplinary findings were recorded at the April 23 meeting.
