The Shasta County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday opened debate on a proposed censure of County Clerk and Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis, drawing sustained public comment and a wide-ranging discussion of workplace conditions, managerial conduct and election administration.
According to the meeting transcript, the board took up a resolution of censure against Curtis during its Aug. 11 regular meeting. The transcript shows supervisors hearing from members of the public on both sides of the issue, with speakers raising concerns about alleged misconduct and others defending Curtis or criticizing the process. The excerpt does not show the final vote on the censure.
The board meeting also included routine opening items and earlier agenda actions, including recognition of an employee of the month and a firefighter appreciation proclamation. But the censure item became the most contentious portion of the meeting as residents and commenters weighed in on the county’s elections office and the investigation underlying the resolution.
Because the available transcript excerpt does not include the end of the item, it is not clear from the source material whether supervisors adopted, amended or tabled the censure resolution.
