The board tabled decisions on Kaliseum staffing, Parks & Recreation organizational changes, and several part-time positions until Chair Scott Matley can attend; Whiteford said Kaliseum revenues currently exceed expenses excluding depreciation and noted a privileged counsel response regarding a County Road Commission interest.

Discussion of the Kaliseum Director position, Parks & Recreation organizational changes, a Zamboni driver and part‑time ice positions was tabled pending attendance by Committee Chair Scott Matley. Commissioner Robert Baldwin said controversial staffing and organizational decisions should be made by the full board.

County Administrator Pat Whiteford reported a privileged response from counsel concerning an interest claimed by the County Road Commission and said a motion would be required to waive privilege and share the counsel response publicly. Whiteford also reported current Kaliseum revenues exceed expenses when depreciation is excluded. Commissioners requested a job description for John Starr’s position and deliberations on those staffing and organizational items were deferred to a later meeting.
