Commissioners recess to executive session to review personnel actions

Commissioner Carolyn Rice called the March 24, 2026 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners to order at 9:33 a.m. and, shortly thereafter, Commissioner Judy Dodge moved to recess the regular meeting at 9:34 a.m. to an executive session to discuss appointments, dismissals, promotions, job postings, resignations, discipline, pending litigation, employments, and economic development. Commissioner Mary A. McDonald seconded; the minutes record, "Upon call of the roll, the following vote resulted: Mrs. Rice, aye; Ms. McDonald, aye; Ms. Dodge, aye; Carried."

The minutes state the Executive Session was called to order at 9:35 a.m. and that Michael B. Colbert presented personnel actions. The record lists a range of personnel items reviewed by the commissioners: voluntary terminations; full-time regular appointments; promotions between departments; transfers within departments; intermittent appointments; rate adjustments; end pay supplement/upgrade; class changes tied to receipt of certification; probationary removal (initial); suspensions; pay level/pay grade changes; temporary pay supplements; and other miscellaneous personnel matters. The executive session adjourned at 10:27 a.m.; the regular session reconvened and was adjourned by Commissioner Rice at 10:27 a.m.

The minutes do not list individual names for the personnel actions or any formal votes approving specific personnel decisions. The board's public minutes therefore record that these categories of personnel matters were reviewed in executive session; no further public action or particulars about individual cases are included in the record.
