After a series of executive sessions and candidate interviews, the Commission directed the County Clerk to extend a job offer to one candidate for Emergency Management Director.

Each executive session was approved by motion and the sessions returned with no immediate action recorded.

Motions to recess into executive session were made by Commissioner Carla Grund and seconded by Commissioner Duane Morris; the transcript records the Commission approved the executive sessions by voice vote and later recorded the consensus to extend a job offer.
