# Law Director Selection Ad-Hoc Committee (Cam2) 10/22/26

The Sumner County Law Director Selection Ad-Hoc Committee met on October 22, 2026, to address the selection process and advance a candidate to the County Commission. The committee chair said the October 16 interviews had been held in executive session based on conflicting guidance about a new law intended to protect the anonymity of applicants for director-level positions, and acknowledged that the process did not comply with open-meeting requirements. The committee held this public meeting to address the issue while continuing to identify applicants as A, B, and C. Public commenters criticized the process and urged the committee to restart it; committee members discussed the applicants’ qualifications and their interview assessments.

The committee unanimously voted to advance Candidate A for consideration by the full County Commission, which has final authority to select the Law Director. A meet-and-greet with the candidate was announced for the following day. The chair said the county would seek legislative clarification or changes to ensure the law is implemented as intended. No contract award, procurement, or spending action was identified; the discussion concerned selection for a county leadership position.
