Brown County commissioners accepted the sheriff's annual racial-profiling report and approved a set of personnel changes in the sheriff's office during the regular court session.
Speaker 3 presented the profiling summary and said, "We've had 2,387 traffic stops," as the basis for the county's submission to the state. Following the presentation Speaker 4 moved to accept the report and the motion was carried forward.
Speaker 3 then listed multiple staffing actions: Jackie Carmack was hired as a visitation clerk at "$14.84 an hour"; Jonathan Massey moved into a full-time role with a salary referenced at $47,000 annually; other reassignments and a recent academy graduate were noted. Speaker 5 reported the jail population as 103 inmates plus four contract inmates.
The court approved the personnel changes after staff confirmed the hires and salary details and took votes on those motions.
Next steps: personnel changes will be processed by county HR and payroll; the racial-profiling report will be filed with the state as presented.
