Curry County commissioners appoint Lynn Coker to fill Position 1; vote 2-0 with one abstention
Summary
After interviews with multiple applicants, the Curry County Board of Commissioners appointed Lynn Coker to fill the vacant Position 1 seat effective May 2. The board earlier approved a consent agenda that included emergency contracting for flood-damaged roads.
The Curry County Board of Commissioners voted 2-0 April 23 to appoint Lynn Coker to fill the vacant Position 1 seat, effective May 2; Commissioner Brad Alcorn abstained from the vote.
The appointment followed a special meeting devoted to interviews after Isaac Hodges withdrew his application because of work conflicts. Commissioners heard from multiple applicants on matters ranging from planning staffing and zoning to public safety and homelessness before making the selection.
Board members said they reviewed written applications and heard oral interviews before deciding. Commissioner Brad Alcorn acknowledged the current workload and said the county needs someone who can be present daily: "I do feel that it's very important right now for the person who takes my place for them to be willing to, commit to a full time, everyday, duties because we've got some issues, some major issues that have to be moved forward." The motion to appoint Coker passed 2 to 0; Alcorn did not participate in the vote.
