Commission expires lateral hiring list and opens a new list to fill vacancies
Commissioner Rich moved to expire the current lateral hiring list after the commission determined it had run through the list; the motion carried. The commission then voted to open a new lateral hiring list to allow the department to recruit and fill an open position. Both votes were made and carried by voice vote with no recorded debate.

The transcript does not specify how many candidates remained on the expired list, nor the timeline for the new recruitment; commissioners recorded only the motions and their passage in public session.
