County Attorney Alex Nixon described two positions — a Legal Assistant/Witness Coordinator and a Paralegal/Office Administrator — and outlined their primary duties. Commissioner Scott Miller moved to approve both job descriptions at the administrative pay scale; Commissioner Bill Bullock seconded and the motion carried.
Nixon also reported litigation updates: he said an email from Jacque Papez provided an update on the “Matriarch” litigation and that there were two new filings in the Bennet case; Nixon said Bennet had not yet retained counsel.
