The Morgan County Commission on Aug. 20 appointed Cody Top Sox to the Morgan County Economic Development Authority and reappointed Heather Lynn, Pat Lawson and Jeff Davidson to the county planning commission, each to serve three‑year terms expiring June 30, 2028.

Commissioners discussed the economic development appointment and said they wanted younger residents engaged; the appointing commissioner said the candidate was enthusiastic and active in the community. The appointment to the economic development authority was made for a term ending Dec. 31 (year not specified in the packet).

The three planning commission members were reappointed after the commission confirmed they remained active and regularly attended meetings. A motion to reappoint all three carried on a voice vote.

No statutes or bylaws were cited during the appointment discussion; the commission noted that appointments and reappointments follow existing county administrative practices.
