A council member moves to fire the county council's attorney; vote to come next meeting
Who it touches:
A council member apologized to a public commenter after the council's attorney left the meeting without answering his question, calling her conduct "extremely unprofessional," and moved to fire her; another member seconded the motion.
Council President Steve Ellis said the council likely could not vote the same night a motion is made, but that the proposal could be brought back for a vote at the next meeting.
The county auditor said he had separately emailed the council with the same concern, saying the attorney does not adequately represent all seven council members and is hard to reach when needed.
