A. The meeting opened with the discussion concerning the commission’s ability to enter
executive session to address the agenda item. The commissioners consulted
Attorney Philip Elmore to determine if they could go into executive session for some
discussion specific to the interim CEO role.
When and if the conversation included a staff member, that staff member had the
right to be invited. With this being understood, the commission went into executive
session at 10:08am.
The executive session ended at 11:07am with Commissioner Martin making a
motion to extend the offer of Interim CEO to Jennifer Walker at a salary of
$165,000 for the interim period of time retroactive to January 2, 2025, with a
return to the budgeted salary for the VP of Finance position when the new CEO
begins employment. This was seconded by Commissioner Wiederkehr who
added that he wished to honor the former CEO’s professional agreement and
written memo and also honor the current employee who is stepping into this
role. It was approved unanimously via a roll call vote.
B. Vote. Creation of a CEO transition policy for inclusion in A&P employee handbook.
With no questions, a motion was made by Commissioner Martin to allow the creation
of a CEO transition policy for inclusion in the employee handbook with the
understanding it would be brought to the commission for approval. It was seconded
by Commissioner Kinney. It was passed unanimously via roll call vote.
