Torrance County Board says no hiring decision after closed‑door interviews, directs staff to keep advertising
Summary
After conducting closed‑door interviews for the county manager on June 3, 2026, the Torrance County Board of Commissioners returned to open session and took no formal personnel action, directing staff to continue advertising for the manager post.
The Torrance County Board of Commissioners held a special meeting June 3, 2026, and after a closed executive session for personnel interviews returned to open session with no formal hire. "No action taken in the Executive session. Continue to advertise for the Torrance County Manager position," County Chairman Ryan Schwebach said after the board reconvened.
The board moved into executive session pursuant to 10‑15‑1.H(2) to conduct limited personnel matters, including interviews related to hiring a county manager. Chairman Schwebach made the motion to enter executive session and Vice‑Chair Linda Jaramillo seconded; the roll call recorded Schwebach "Yes," Jaramillo "Yes," and Commissioner Kevin McCall absent. The motion to enter closed session was recorded at about 2:05 PM; the meeting later concluded and adjourned at 3:57 PM. The board announced its next regular meeting for June 10, 2026, at 9:00 AM.
The board provided no additional details in open session about candidates, timelines for selection, or any personnel terms. County staff listed as present in the meeting record included County Manager candidate interview staff and administrators, but the public record in open session contains only the board's direction to continue advertising the vacancy. The transcript does not specify application deadlines, salary range, or an expected timetable for a final selection.
