SANDPOINT — In a special meeting held Dec. 30, with the Bonner County commissioners and Fair Board, commissioners voted to undo a Dec. 4 decision that instructed the county’s human resource director to revise fairground employees'job descriptions to report directly to the Board of County Commissioners. 

Instead, the board voted 2-1 for the fair manager, a county employee, to report to the fair board. Commissioners Asia Williams and Brian Domke voted in favor, with Commissioner Ron Korn in opposition due to feeling that the Dec. 4 decision was made with proper input from legal counsel and Human Resources. Domke shared that he was personally conflicted on voting for the motion but recognized that there was a need for written legal opinion to be obtained before any decisions were made to provide clarity to the community and fair volunteers.
