12. Before the Board were Additions to the Agenda.
The County Administrator and Commissioners discussed issues relating to the
District Attorney’s Office and what may occur after the first of the year after
the new D.A. takes office. There are some problems relating to the
announcement of the proposed appointment of new staff, the appropriate
recruitment process and starting pay ranges, and potential non-compliance with
County Personnel rules.
The Commissioners felt this is a terrible precedence with potentially wide-
reaching negative impacts to the County, and measures should be considered to
make sure that an improper process does not continue. The general consensus
was that the issue be addressed by the County Administrator at this point, but
the Board will be supportive if the situation needs to come to their level at some
point.
