Colleagues praised Goldsmith for his commitment and effectiveness in encouraging community participation. He was credited with being particularly skilled at engaging volunteers and expanding their involvement in the program. Goldsmith expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve the county and emphasized the importance of the RSVP program in providing essential services to the community.

Aside from Goldsmith’s retirement announcement, the commission addressed various routine agenda items. They approved a temporary contract for a new employee to assist with the RSVP program and finalized an electricity supply contract that secures a fixed rate for the next three years, which was noted as a favorable deal for the county.

They expect to present a candidate for consideration shortly. The meeting concluded with reminders about adhering to the smoking policy at the county complex and an upcoming presentation by the Alzheimer’s Association, which received a grant from the county.
