County statement says no impropriety found in meetings with Shawnee Ford
Summary
A statement from County Commissioner Dennis, read into the record at the meeting, said the county does not believe anything improper occurred in meetings between commissioners and Shawnee Ford during the past contract year; the statement was read after Ward 4 Commissioner Ashley Fichtner's allegations.
County Commissioner Dennis provided a written statement that was read at the meeting, saying the county "does not believe that there was anything improper that occurred in any of the meetings" between commissioners and Shawnee Ford over the past contract year. The statement was presented immediately after Ward 4 Commissioner Ashley Fichtner's written concerns were read into the record.
The county's statement, as read at the meeting, reiterates aspects of Commissioner Fichtner's account but draws a different conclusion about wrongdoing: it says the county does not find evidence of impropriety. The transcript contains no direct response from Shawnee Ford to either statement and does not record any follow‑up investigation or next procedural step beyond commissioners' vote to approve the contract.
