Board ratifies job‑abandonment for an on‑call correctional officer identified in transcript as 'Jacob New York'
Summary
The board voted to ratify the job abandonment of a part‑time correctional officer the Presenter said had not worked since July 2025 and had not responded to outreach; the board approved the ratification by voice vote.
Under new business the Chair brought a motion to ratify the job abandonment of a part‑time correctional officer identified in the transcript as "Jacob New York." The Presenter described multiple attempts by supervisors (including Deputy Warren Barnes) to contact the employee without success and said a letter was sent on June 24 informing the employee that the employment relationship had ended pending ratification.
"He had failed to communicate or express any desire on whether he wanted to return to work or whether he wanted to resign from his employment," the Presenter said, describing the outreach efforts and the June 24 letter. The Chair called the motion and the board approved the ratification by voice vote.
The transcript records the employee name as provided during the meeting; the spelling is preserved here as stated in the record. The Presenter said the county preferred to avoid ratification if contact could be reestablished but moved forward after unsuccessful outreach.
