Summary
The commission approved the sheriff’s request to hire a deputy identified in the transcript alternately as David Weister and Daniel Weister; the clerk moved and commissioners approved the hire by voice vote.
The Hampshire County Commission approved the sheriff’s request to hire a new deputy sheriff, approving the candidate identified in meeting materials as Weister; the transcript uses both "David" and "Daniel" in reference to the hire.
The clerk read the sheriff’s request for appointment and the commission took a motion to approve. A commissioner moved to approve "the request of the hire from the sheriff of Daniel Weister to the position of deputy sheriff" and another seconded; the motion passed by voice vote.
The clerk earlier introduced the request as an appointment of "David Weister," creating an inconsistency in the transcript record. The commission provided no further public detail about the candidate’s background or starting date at the meeting.
No additional action or funding authorization beyond the hire approval was recorded in the meeting minutes presented on Tuesday.
