The Jones County Board of Commissioners voted to select Jerry Arnold to fill the vacant director of public works position and to retain Lorenda Mason as assistant director of public works.
Board member 1, a county board member, moved the appointment and retention, saying, "I make a motion that we select, Jerry Arnold to fill the, vacant director of public works position and Lorenda Mason, retained as the assistant director of public works." Board member 2 seconded the motion. After a voice vote — "All in favor, aye" — two "Aye" responses were recorded and the motion carried.
