Commissioner Judah stated that he felt that Attorney Yaeger did an excellent job laying out the thought process that went on in the Attorney's Office with regard to the number of law suits that their office has dealt with over the years. Written evaluations of the County Attorney, Deputy County Attorney, Assistant County Attorneys, and Support Staff was discussed.

Commissioner Albion questioned the success in being able to standardize all the evaluations, that the Board completes, to be at the same time of year.
