The board debated Resolution 2024‑46 to lift the hiring freeze to hire a full‑time Deputy County Administrator; after an attempted tabling and a failed final vote, the board posted a special meeting for Oct. 23 to revisit the resolution.

Commissioner Jeff Sieting moved to approve Resolution 2024‑46 to lift the hiring freeze to allow hiring a full‑time Deputy County Administrator and to incorporate a proposed job title and salary.
