Middlesex County board fails to hire assistant Commonwealth attorney after closed-session certification
Summary
After certifying the return from closed session, the Middlesex County Board of Supervisors voted down a motion to hire an entry-level assistant Commonwealth attorney at $80,725 (body camera plus benefits), with a 2–3 split vote.
The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors returned to open session and certified that only matters lawfully exempted were discussed in the closed session. The board immediately considered personnel business: Mr. Jesse moved "to hire an entry-level Commonwealth attorney assistant Commonwealth attorney for $80,725 for the body cam plus benefits." Mr. Crittenden seconded the motion.
The motion failed on roll call. Mr. Bill Harris, Mr. Williams and Mr. Don Harris voted no; Mr. Crittenden and Mr. Jesse voted yes. After the tally the chair stated, "No, motion failed." The board then proceeded to the advertised public hearing items on the agenda.
The hiring motion and vote were procedural and limited to the staffing authorization described on the motion. The transcript provides the motion text and the roll-call outcome; no further hiring details (start date, division assignment, or benefit breakdown) were specified in the record.
