Board appoints James Hogan interim superintendent of public works
Summary
The Washington County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 189 to appoint James Hogan as interim superintendent of public works effective Aug. 6, 2026, in a roll-call vote; two supervisors voted no and one supervisor was recorded as recused before the discussion.
The Washington County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 6, 2026, adopted Resolution No. 189 to appoint James Hogan as interim superintendent of the Washington County Department of Public Works, effective Aug. 6, 2026.
The clerk read the resolution aloud: "Resolve that James Hogan is hereby appointed as the interim superintendent of Washington County Department of Public Works effective 08/06/2026 and expiring upon the appointment of a permanent replacement," and noted the interim incumbent "shall be paid the current base rate of pay for the position of superintendent of public works pursuant to local law number 2 of 2026." The motion to adopt the resolution was moved and seconded; the clerk conducted a roll-call vote.
Recorded votes on the motion were: Haik (Yes), Sadler (Yes), Taal (Yes), Herrick (Yes), Hall (Yes), Fisher (Yes), Baker (Yes), Bumby (Yes), O'Brien (Yes), Hahn (Yes), Campbell (Yes), Rossell (Yes); Kerr (No), Clary (No). The clerk announced: "Resolution is adopted." The resolution states the appointment is effective Aug. 6, 2026, and will remain until a permanent replacement is appointed.
The meeting record also notes that a supervisor identified as Hogan recused himself earlier because the board would consider a family member; the transcript does not specify whether the recused supervisor is the same person named in the resolution. The record does not provide the names of the motion mover or seconder.
Next procedural steps in the resolution are the effective date and that the interim pay will follow local law number 2 of 2026; the resolution text says the interim appointment expires upon the appointment of a permanent replacement.
