Washington County Personnel Committee reconvenes and holds executive session; no public action reported

The Washington County Personnel Committee reconvened on July 17, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in the Board of Supervisors second-floor classroom B214 at the Municipal Center in Fort Edward. Chairman Hall called the meeting to order and read attendance, noting committee members Hall, Clary, Campbell, Skellie, Rozell, Baker and Wang were present alongside county officials.

The committee moved to enter an executive session "to discuss matters leading to the appointment, employment, promotion, demotion, discipline, suspension, dismissal or removal of a particular person." The motion was moved by Mr. Skellie and seconded by Mr. Rozell and Mrs. Clary; the motion was adopted. Debra Prehoda, Clerk for the Washington County Board of Supervisors, is recorded in the minutes as signing the documentation for the meeting.

County officials listed in the meeting minutes included Debra Prehoda, Clerk; Dan Martindale, County Attorney; Melissa Fitch, County Administrator; and Danelle LaPann, Personnel Officer. A list of supervisors was also recorded in the minutes: Henke, Fedler, Herrick, Mumby, O’Brien, Hahn, Hogan, Kerr.

The committee later adjourned from the executive session. The minutes state explicitly that no action was taken following the executive session. No motions, votes with tallies, or specific personnel decisions were reported in the public record of this meeting.

The Personnel Committee had reconvened the recessed July 9, 2026 meeting; the minutes do not indicate any further business conducted in open session after the executive session.
