Richland County officials discussed personnel discipline during a meeting and briefly entered an executive session, after which motions to impose short suspensions were announced on the record, according to the meeting transcript.

The discussion centered on personnel matters and an executive-session item identifying an employee associated with Dayspring. Michelle Swanger, identified in the transcript as "Мішел Swanger, директор Dayspring" and described there as an HR director, was noted as present when the body recessed to an executive session for a personnel matter. After returning to open session, a motion to impose short suspensions was raised.

The transcript records a motion that referenced a three-day suspension and a two-day suspension; speakers on the audio responded "Yes" when the motion was called, but the transcript does not include a formal roll-call, a vote tally, or explicit mover/second names. The motion as discussed referenced alleged violations described in the record as "number 4 violations" and cited refusal to accept a mandate; the transcript’s wording is not fully clear on the nature of the mandate or the specific violations.

The meeting record does not specify the full names, departments, or employment status of the employees who were the subject of the suspensions. The names rendered in the transcript include variants transcribed as "Virio," "Mieres," and "Banks," but spellings and roles are unclear in the recording and are presented here only as they appear in the transcript.

The transcript does not provide details on any disciplinary appeals process, effective dates for the suspensions, or whether written notices were issued. It also does not show a recorded motion to adopt a personnel policy change; the discussion appears limited to the specific personnel actions and the executive-session deliberation.

Following the personnel discussion, the meeting proceeded to other agenda items. The transcript does not list employment documents, disciplinary forms, or specific statutory citations associated with the suspensions.

The record shows verbal affirmative responses on the motion but no named vote totals; the transcript therefore does not allow verification of which members voted for or against the action.
