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. ____________________________________ The Board went into Executive Session under ORS 192.660(2)(h), pending or threatened litigation.
