Ottawa County commissioners authorize county clerk to make Emergency Management Director offer
Summary
On May 6 the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners unanimously passed a motion authorizing County Clerk Tammi Cox to make an offer for the Emergency Management Director position; the minutes do not record the candidate's name or offer details.
The Ottawa County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously on May 6, 2026, to allow County Clerk Tammi Cox to extend a job offer for the Emergency Management Director position. Commissioner Carla Grund moved “To allow Tammi Cox, County Clerk, to make an offer for the Emergency Management Director position.” Commissioner Duane Morris seconded and the motion passed 3-0.
The minutes identify this motion as the only recorded personnel-direction action following a series of closed executive sessions held May 5–6 to interview candidates. The public record in the minutes does not include the identity of the selected applicant, any proposed salary or start date, or the text of an offer letter. The action delegates to the county clerk the authority to extend an offer; the minutes indicate the clerk was alone in a final short executive session immediately before the motion.
Next steps recorded in the minutes are limited: the implementation section attached to the motion directs the county clerk to proceed with extending an offer and to report back when the hiring step is complete. The minutes do not record whether an offer was accepted before adoption of the minutes on June 8, 2026.
