NEW HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT

The county is hiring a new highway superintendent after the resignation of Darrell Courtright.

Jim Williams was introduced during the commissioner’s meeting as the interim superintendent, to be reevaluated after 90 days. Courtright has accepted a position at NSWC Crane, effective Monday.

Department heads, along with the commissioners, thanked Courtright for his service.

“I hopefully not regret leaving but I will miss this circus that has been part of my life for such a long time,” Courtright said.

PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE

The commissioners approved the destruction of equipment in the prosecutor’s office.

Prosecutor Mike Steiner said in a letter the equipment, damaged in a fire last year, was not salvageable. The destruction was approved, 3-0.

DLGF OFFICE

A representative with the Department of Local Government Finance asked for office space in the courthouse. The commissioners approved for some office space in the Recorder’s office, provided he works during business hours only.
