After executive session, commission members indicate support for Candidate 1 in executive-director selection

After adjourning to executive session to consider the qualifications of two finalists for the executive-director position, the commission reconvened and conducted a roll-call vote. The case manager called the roll and members announced their choice between Candidate 1 and Candidate 2; a majority announced "Candidate 1."

The roll call in public session recorded multiple commissioners indicating support for Candidate 1 when asked; the chair indicated the members were then prepared to cast votes after their executive-session deliberations. The transcript records commissioners answering with "Candidate 1" on the roll call; the public portion of the meeting concluded with the chair noting the session would resume the next morning for annual education and any remaining business.
