Greenbrier County Commission confirms several reappointments and personnel actions, flags a name discrepancy on a retirement item
Summary
Commissioners reappointed multiple board members, left one reappointment on hold pending confirmation, confirmed separations for two employees, approved an employment-status change to full time, and noted an inconsistency between the retirement listed on the agenda and the name confirmed in the motion.
At its regular meeting the Greenbrier County Commission approved multiple board reappointments, confirmed separations of two employees, and changed one employee from part time to full time.
On appointments, commissioners approved the reappointment of Jerry Cook to the Airport Authority for a five‑year term and Debbie Parker to the Greenbrier Valley Economic Development board for three years. The commission approved Joanna Kittle's reappointment to the Planning Commission and reappointed Jack Tuckiller and Jan Hollick to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Commissioners deferred action on Ron McGruder's reappointment until staff verifies whether he requested another term and noted at least one open slot remains on the Board of Zoning Appeals and on the building commission.
Personnel actions included confirming separations of Earl Boone and Peggy Boone from county employment effective June 16, 2025, and approving a change in employment status for Solomon Simmons from part time to full time effective immediately. Those motions were moved and carried by voice votes.
The agenda item listed a retirement for Sergeant William Hunker effective June 10, 2025, and the sheriff addressed the meeting to honor the departing sergeant's long service. Later in the meeting a commissioner moved to "confirm the retirement for Sergeant Rick Conacher" effective the same date; the commission approved that motion. The transcript contains an inconsistency between the agenda name (William Hunker) and the name used in the motion (Rick Conacher). County staff should confirm which individual the retirement confirmation applies to before public postings and benefits processing.
Sheriff Baker praised the retiree's lengthy service and said the department would present customary honors at a Thursday evening ceremony. The commission concluded the personnel items with the requested motions and voice approvals.
