Sheridan County commissioners elect Lonnie Wright as 2025 chair, approve commissioner assignments
Summary
Sheridan County commissioners voted Jan. 7 to elect Lonnie Wright as the board's 2025 chairman and approved commissioner assignments for the year, including hospital and joint-powers board swaps. The actions passed by voice votes after brief procedural motions.
Lonnie Wright was elected chairman of the Sheridan County Board of County Commissioners during the board's Jan. 7 meeting after a nomination and voice vote. A commissioner nominated Wright and another moved to second the nomination; the motion carried following the chair's call for a voice vote and one recorded dissent.
The board also approved the panel's 2025 assignments. Commissioners agreed to several swaps announced by the chair and staff: Commissioner Bridal will swap assignments with Commissioner Arzley; Commissioner Siddle will take the hospital board assignment; and the SAW joint powers board seat will move to Commissioner Arz. The board moved, seconded and approved the slate by voice vote.
The board began its session by approving a 15-item consent agenda and recognizing county employees for service: detention officer Harrison Cummings (5 years), district operator Joshua McKinley (5 years) and IT manager Mark Ramber (10 years). The chair noted the courthouse will be closed Monday, Jan. 20 in recognition of Equality Day.
