Court records multiple hires, resignations and promotions after executive session

After entering executive session under KRS 68.810 to discuss personnel matters, the court returned to open session and approved a slate of personnel actions. The court acknowledged resignations (Michael Hilton; Trey Morris) and approved hires and reassignments: Jimmy Seth Kiser as a floodplain coordinator trainee; John McAnallen, Aiden Wolford and Matthew Dotson as solid-waste loaders; Homer Lee Duty as seasonal labor; moving Keegan Dotson and Daniel West into new roles and promoting Kevin Mericle to Solid Waste Coordinator effective on stated dates; the court also noted Chuck Morley’s resignation as Solid Waste Coordinator effective earlier and his retirement effective later in the year.

The motions were seconded and approved by roll-call vote. The judge read the personnel items aloud and commissioners recorded affirmative votes. These changes were described as routine personnel management following executive-session consideration of personnel matters under state law.
