The Morgan County Commission voted Sept. 3 to appoint Amanda Hollis to the Morgan County Development Authority (EDA) to serve the remainder of a three-year term, which the commission record stated will expire Dec. 31, 2028.

Commissioners said Hollis previously served and brings experience from earlier work with the authority, including business planning assistance described by commissioners. A commissioner who supported the appointment described the decision as a personal one by the appointee to rejoin the board and noted Hollis’ prior contributions.

The motion to appoint Hollis carried by voice vote; commissioners responded “Aye” and no dissenting votes were recorded in the meeting transcript. The commission did not read an ordinance or resolution number on the record.

Background: Commissioners described Hollis as a former board member who stepped down earlier for personal reasons and is now seeking reappointment; the appointment fills the remainder of the existing three-year term.
