Commissioners urge earlier board reappointment outreach as openings approach
Summary
Commissioners discussed streamlining recruitment and reappointment for about a dozen county boards, asked the auditor’s office to act as a clearinghouse for applicants and reminded commissioners to submit nominations by December.
Daviess County commissioners discussed planned reappointments to multiple county boards and recommended earlier outreach to recruit volunteers and centralize candidate information.
Commissioners said boards that require appointments include the Alcohol Beverage Commission, Area Plan Commission (APC), Board of Zoning Appeals, Community Corrections, hospital-related boards, Park Boards (Boggs and West Boggs), the Visitors Bureau and several others. They asked the auditor’s office to serve as a clearinghouse for applications and contact information; staff directed residents to contact auditor@Daviess.org for interest in appointments.
Commissioners noted some board positions, such as the Washington City Board of Zoning Appeals seat covering a two-mile radius, are important and that reappointments must be made by December. They encouraged prospective volunteers to submit interest and said they would divide responsibilities to review applicants and make recommendations.
