Hancock County supervisors name 2025 leadership, reappoint key officials
Summary
The Hancock County Board of Supervisors elected Scottie Adams president and Chuck Clark vice president for 2025 and approved a slate of reappointments and personnel actions, all by unanimous votes.
Scottie Adams was elected board president and Chuck Clark was elected vice president as the Hancock County Board of Supervisors opened its first meeting of 2025 on Jan. 6. The board also reappointed several county officials and approved multiple personnel actions in unanimous votes.
The actions set the county’s leadership for the year. The board voted 5-0 to name Adams president and Clark vice president. County Administrator Jimmy Ladner was reappointed; the board also reappointed Gary Albers as county attorney and Alex Davis as county engineer. Leroy Lee was appointed road manager; the board approved a temporary salary bump for that position as recorded in the meeting.
Why it matters: These selections determine who will preside over board proceedings and sign county documents during 2025, and the personnel actions set staffing stability in key county operations such as roads, legal counsel and engineering.
The board accepted the motions and recorded each vote as carried by all five supervisors present. Specific personnel actions approved included: reappointment of Jimmy Ladner as county administrator (motion and second; vote 5-0), reappointment of Gary Albers as county attorney (motion and second; vote 5-0), reappointment of Alex Davis as county engineer for 2025 (motion and second; vote 5-0), and appointment of Leroy Lee as road manager with the temporary salary adjustment (motion and second; vote 5-0). The meeting minutes will reflect each action.
Looking ahead, the board set its next meeting for 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025.
