Summary

Commissioner Carla Grund objected that her rationale for opposing longevity bonuses was omitted from the Dec. 8 minutes; the commission voted 2-1 to approve the minutes (Mortimer and Morris aye; Grund nay).

Tammi Cox, County Clerk, reviewed the minutes for Dec. 8 and Dec. 15. Commissioner Carla Grund said she wanted her explanation for opposing longevity bonuses included because she believed it was unfair to present information without justification; she offered to show where the numbers came from.

Commissioner Scott Mortimer said it was not fair that Grund was changing the minutes for the paper, and Commissioner Duane Morris said the discussion was undermining staff. The commission voted to approve the Dec. 8 minutes with a 2-1 tally: Morton and Morris voted aye and Grund voted nay. The minutes record that changes to the Dec. 15 minutes were agreed upon and would be voted on the following week.
