Summary

The board authorized Planning and Public Works to delegate signature authority to Justin Throne and Brian Pisan to sign land partitions, purchase orders and act in emergencies such as road closures; motion passed unanimously July 28.

Planning and Public Works Director Jeremy Morris asked the board to delegate signature authority to two staff members to allow day‑to‑day approvals and emergency actions when he is unavailable.

The request specified that Justin Throne (Planning) and Brian Pisan (Public Works) be able to sign land partitions, purchase orders and act on behalf of the director for emergencies such as county road closures. Commissioner Minty moved to approve the delegation as presented; Commissioner DeGroot seconded and the vote was unanimous.

The delegation is framed as operational authority for routine and emergency management and does not alter broader policy or budget authorities; specific limits and any written delegation documents will be handled by the departments.
