Commission adopts 2026 work-session schedule after tie and tiebreak votes
Summary
After an initial 4 p.m. work-session proposal failed on a 2–3 vote with the chair casting the tie-breaking no, the board approved a 9:00 a.m. work-session calendar for 2026 when the chair cast a tie-breaking yes vote on the second motion.
The Board of Commissioners debated and adopted the 2026 meeting calendar at the Dec. 2 regular meeting after two contested motions over work-session start times. Commissioner Jason Frost moved to set work sessions at 4:00 p.m.; that motion was supported by Commissioner Damon Hoyte but opposed by Commissioners Timothy Biddle and Gerald Douglas. Chairman Charles Coffey cast the tiebreaking vote and opposed the 4:00 p.m. proposal, leaving the motion defeated, 2–3.
Commissioner Gerald Douglas then moved to set work sessions for 9:00 a.m., seconded by Commissioner Timothy Biddle. Commissioners Frost and Hoyte opposed; Chairman Coffey again cast the tiebreaking vote, this time in favor, and the Commission carried the 9:00 a.m. schedule for 2026. The board also unanimously approved the county's 2026 employee holiday calendar and several routine reappointments and resolutions during the same meeting.
