Doug Verboun reappointed chair; Rusty Robinson named vice chair of Kings County Board for 2025
Summary
After nominations and brief remarks about priorities, the Board voted to keep Doug Verboun as chair and Rusty Robinson as vice chair for 2025; supervisors emphasized water issues as an early priority.
The Kings County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 7 elected Doug Verboun as chairman and Rusty Robinson as vice chairman for 2025.
Board members opened nominations after the oath of office ceremonies. One supervisor nominated Robinson for chair and spoke in favor of changing officers to match perceived trust with the farming community, saying water is “our biggest issue right now” and explaining a preference to maintain current offices until probation matters are resolved. The board then considered a nomination to retain the existing leadership — Verboun as chair and Robinson as vice chair — which was seconded and approved by roll call.
The clerk recorded a unanimous vote in favor of keeping the current offices (yes: Joe Neves, Richard Valle, Doug Verboun, Rusty Robinson, Robert Thayer). After the vote, Verboun thanked the board and said he would focus on the county’s water issues.
The reorganization took place at the start of the Jan. 7 meeting following the administration of oaths of office to newly seated supervisors.
