Council Tackles Rules After Tape Allegation
Billie Trapp defended an action as illegal while noting she did not challenge Warner’s comment before the council. Warner took full responsibility for the incident, yet Trapp said blame is not sole. A resolution to draft rules for council members was approved, with Barnes tasked to deliver within 10 days. The council moved toward Barnes’ reorganization plan and approved second readings on Indigent Care and Planning Commission staff under the county administrator. A new Director of Administrative Human Services position was approved on first reading with a maximum $25 000 salary. Cullinan and Woodring abstained.
