Polk County board confirms corporation counsel, reappoints Board of Adjustments member; names deputy admin

At its Aug. 20 meeting, the Polk County Board of Supervisors confirmed a corporation counsel nominee and approved local appointments.

Administrator announced the nomination for corporation counsel (transcript reference: "Joe D'Oso"). A motion to approve the nomination was made and seconded and the board approved the confirmation by voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally. During public comment earlier in the meeting, a commenter identified the corporation counsel by the name Joseph Loso; the transcript contains both spellings. The board did not address the spelling discrepancy during the meeting.

The administrator also presented the reappointment of Jim Anderson to a three-year term on the Board of Adjustments (Anderson had been serving as an alternate). The board moved and seconded the reappointment and approved it by voice vote.

Finally, the administrator announced the appointment of Don Wortham as deputy county administrator and described his background and prior work with county extension; the administrator said the appointment did not require a motion and the board recognized the appointment.

The approvals and announcements were recorded as voice votes in the meeting transcript; no roll-call tallies are included in the record provided.
