Commission appoints members to Riley County Law Board; names county representatives and citizen member
Summary
Riley County commissioners appointed Commissioner Greg McKinley to the county seat on the Law Board, Commissioner Kathy Fokie as alternate, and Gary Olds as a citizen-at-large representative for the upcoming term.
Riley County commissioners voted Dec. 16 to appoint three representatives to the county’s Law Board for the upcoming term.
The motion, which was moved and seconded during the meeting, named Commissioner Greg McKinley to the commission’s primary Law Board seat, Commissioner Kathy Fokie to the alternate commission seat, and Gary Olds to the citizen-at-large seat. Commissioners described several applicants as qualified and said the pool of applicants reflected community interest in the board’s work.
Commissioners discussed applicants’ backgrounds during the meeting, noting military and law-enforcement experience among several candidates and that citizen representation from the north county was a consideration. The commission’s motion to appoint McKinley, Fokie and Olds passed on a voice vote.
The appointees will serve the term specified in the Law Board’s governing resolution; commissioners said they will provide administrative details and any orientation information needed for the newly appointed members.
