Summary
The Board of County Commissioners appointed Brett Daniels as interim county administrator to handle personnel and purchasing transitions and approved employment terms for Jim Dean as the new county administrator, with a June 18 start date noted in the meeting.
Jackson County commissioners voted to name Brett Daniels interim county administrator and approved the terms of employment for the board’s incoming county administrator, Jim Dean.
Commissioners said the interim appointment is intended to ensure continuity for personnel matters and purchasing thresholds while the county finalizes a full‑time administrator hire.
