Upon acknowledgement of the Washington County Elections Commission’s appointment of Jennifer Gajeske to the position, the court will vote on approving her official bond and approving her salary for a pay rate exceeding the 6 percent allowable amount, in accordance with county policy.

Also on Tuesday, commissioners will:
