Osage County chair steps down from chairmanship; vice chair named acting chair
Summary
The county chair told commissioners he would no longer serve as chair, effective immediately, citing emotional strain; the commission appointed the vice chair as acting chair until formal reorganization.
During Nov. 18 business the sitting chair told commissioners he would continue as a commissioner but would step down from the chairmanship immediately, saying the role had become "too much." The chair said he would remain on the board for the remainder of his term but asked the vice chair to serve as acting chair until the next reorganization.
Commissioners accepted the resignation-as-chair announcement and voted to have the vice chair serve as acting chair for the interim. The minutes will reflect the change and the commission discussed handling any necessary procedural steps for reorganization at the next meeting.
The chair's statement was emotional and followed a long discussion of administrative and personnel issues; commissioners thanked him for his service and pledged to continue the business of the county.
