The meeting is set for 3 p.m. in the commissioners courtroom at the courthouse, 250 N. Baxter St., Coquille. While considered public meetings under state law, executive session meetings are not open to the public. The commissioners called the meeting under the authority of ORS 192.660, citing consultation with the county attorney.

Under Tort laws, if the person commits the offense while on the job, and if the act was not in his scope of employment, the employer may not be held liable for the offense. The offender can be held personally liable.

I wonder if the County employed Mr. Colby to harass fellow workers?

Maybe

With the firing of a county road employee for alleged sexual harrassment, that I don't recall seeing coverage of, and now the assessor's office fiasco, i'd like to know just how many "claims" we're talking about here.
