A member of the public who identified himself in the record as "Joe Lebowski, Police" urged the Sumner County Board of Commissioners to support Michael Jeffrey for the ECC director position.

"I'd like to express my support for Michael Jeffrey as the, ECC director," the speaker said, describing experience working with the operations committee over the ECC and stating he had observed Jeffrey in that role. The speaker said it is not uncommon in other jurisdictions for the morning director to also oversee the ECC and that he supported Jeffrey as a good director.

The record shows the comment was made during the public-recognition portion of the meeting. Commissioners acknowledged the comment but did not take any formal personnel action or hold a related vote during the session.

No background materials or personnel actions related to the ECC director position were presented in the meeting minutes or on the record during the portion of the meeting included in the transcript.
