Summary

Following executive session, commissioners moved to offer a county position to Leanne to replace a retiring staff member; the candidate accepted and staff will arrange training before the incumbent departs.

The commission moved to offer a county position to an applicant named Leanne to replace a longtime employee who is retiring later this summer.

Chair reported the incumbent (Jenny) will retire in June or July and the commission interviewed multiple candidates; Commissioner 2 moved to offer the job to Leanne and the motion was seconded. Leanne confirmed she was still interested and accepted the offer; commissioners directed staff to arrange training so the new hire can shadow the incumbent before the retirement.

Why it matters: Filling the role before the incumbent's departure allows for overlap and an orderly transition of duties and institutional knowledge.

Next steps: Staff will complete hiring paperwork, schedule a training overlap and report back to the commission.
