Ohio County Fiscal Court names Candace Thomas treasurer in 4–1 roll call
Summary
After a closed session, Ohio County Fiscal Court appointed Candace Thomas as county treasurer. The motion passed 4–1 on a roll-call vote; one member voted no.
The Ohio County Fiscal Court appointed Candace Thomas as county treasurer following discussion in a closed session and a subsequent open-session motion and roll-call vote.
Why it matters: The treasurer is the county’s fiscal officer for cash management and accounting; the appointment fills a key administrative position and allows the county to proceed with financial operations that require an on‑staff treasurer.
Details: In open session the presiding officer moved to appoint “Candace Thomas” to the treasurer position. The motion was seconded and the court took a roll-call vote. The roll call recorded four yes votes and one no vote: McKinney — yes; Bullock — yes; Johnston — no; Bivens — yes; Moreview — yes. The presiding officer announced the process had taken several months and expressed relief that the appointment was completed.
Discussion and procedure: Court members said the appointment followed a months‑long process and that no formal business was conducted in the closed session aside from discussion leading to this nomination. The presiding officer noted the length of the process, saying, “This has been a really long process, but looks like we're there.”
