Attorney describes pro tem appointment process; court takes no action
Summary

Matthew Bartosiewicz addressed the court about serving as County Attorney pro tem. He said criminal appointments would be made by the County Judge on a case-by-case basis and that civil representation could be provided by his firm or an alternate firm chosen by the county.
The court discussed the procedural details but did not vote or enter a contract during the April 13 meeting. No motion to hire or appoint was recorded in the minutes.
Judge Lisa Johnson acknowledged the explanation but the record shows "no action was taken." The court proceeded to other agenda items including lease and finance matters.
