Supervisor Hogan recuses from meeting on family-related appointment
Summary
The meeting record shows a supervisor named Hogan recused himself before consideration of a family-related appointment; the board subsequently adopted a resolution appointing James Hogan as interim public works superintendent. The transcript does not clarify whether the recused supervisor and the appointee are the same person.
At the start of the special meeting the chair noted on the public record: "Note for the record that, Mister Hogan has recused himself since we'll be considering a family member." (Chair, Speaker 1).
The record shows the supervisor removed himself from the room for the item. The clerk then read Resolution No. 189 appointing James Hogan as interim superintendent of the Washington County Department of Public Works, effective Aug. 6, 2026, and the board adopted the resolution by roll call. The transcript does not state the full name or relationship details for the recusal beyond the chair's on-the-record statement, so it is not possible from this record alone to determine whether the recused supervisor is the same person named in the resolution.
