Board of Health reappointments, drainage‑board picks and new administrator introduced

Jan 14, 2026

Commissioners reappointed several health-board members, appointed two drainage-board members (Jeff Kates and Joel McGera), and heard an introduction from Jason Craig, the county's new administrator replacing Angela Cox.

The full story

The board read and approved reappointments to the county Board of Health (including Sarah Sorrow, Josh Underhill, Karen Blesinger, Jerry Cash, Kelsey Myers, Steve Warner and Amy Loan) and voted to reappoint all listed members. Commissioners also opened and announced bids for a procurement listing multiple firms and then read letters of interest for two drainage-board seats; the board appointed Jeff Kates and Joel (name variant in transcript) to fill those openings.
