Commissioners direct HR to proceed with IT staffing changes after executive session

The board entered executive session to discuss personnel matters and returned with motions implementing staffing changes in the Information Technology department. A motion was made to eliminate the consulting manager position for IT and to direct Human Resources to proceed with notice; that motion was seconded and carried. Separately, the board moved not to continue employment for the IT director "for lack of expectations for the position," a motion that was seconded and passed with recorded responses.

Those motions were discussed and acted on in open session after the executive session concluded. The board recorded votes on each motion; the transcript includes affirmative and negative voice responses during the roll calls. The motions direct county HR to proceed with notices and related personnel steps consistent with county policies. No names for the affected employees were read into the public transcript during open session.
