Public Property and Law Enforcement Committee elects Laura Schultz chair, Jim Schultz vice chair

The Ashland County Public Property and Law Enforcement Committee elected Laura Schultz chair and Jim Schultz vice chair during its meeting. Nominations were made from the floor, and both positions were approved by voice vote.

The committee opened with roll call; several members were absent at the start. Laura Schultz moved to approve the meeting agenda, Paul Wilharm seconded, and the motion carried. Wilharm then nominated Laura Schultz for chair and Jim Schultz seconded the nomination; with no other nominations, the committee voted to appoint Schultz chair. Similarly, Wilharm nominated Jim Schultz for vice chair, Marcus J seconded, and the committee approved him as vice chair.

The committee also voted to approve minutes from the January 26, 2026 meeting after a motion from Wilharm and a second from Schultz. No corrections were offered during the minutes vote.

The leadership votes were conducted as voice votes with no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript. The committee set its next meeting for August 24 at 2:00 p.m. to align with county budget work.

The meeting was convened by members present at the Ashland County Courthouse and adjourned after the scheduled business was completed.
