Elizabeth Greiner was sworn in as a Somerset County commissioner during the board's June 24, 2025, work session at the Somerset County Courthouse in Somerville. Judge Doug Singletary administered the oath and Commissioner Greiner completed the oath with the closing phrase, “So help me God.”
The swearing-in was presented as part of the meeting’s opening ceremonial items; the board noted that most agenda items on June 24 were for discussion and would be considered at the board's next regular meeting on July 22. The meeting packet also listed Resolution 25-12-67, described as “appointing Commissioner Greiner as a member or liaison to various boards and commissions on behalf of the Somerset County Board of Commissioners,” and Resolution 25-12-68, appointing Melissa Kosinski as the county qualified purchasing agent. Those items were announced for placement on a future consent agenda.
Board staff and elected officials offered congratulations and brief remarks after the oath. Director Robinson opened the meeting by reminding the public that the session was a work session (items for discussion) and that “no action will be taken at this meeting unless the measure is needed in a manner necessary to continue county business at this time.”
The board conducted a roll call later in the meeting and discussed adding a set of resolutions, including the appointments referenced above, to the consent agenda for the July 22 meeting. No final vote on the liaison appointment was recorded in the June 24 transcript; the item was presented for inclusion on a future consent calendar.
What happens next: the listed resolutions and appointments are scheduled for consideration on the board’s consent agenda at the July 22 meeting, unless the board pulls an item for separate discussion.
