The Hardin County Commissioners on Monday voted to appoint Lisa Nicks, identified in the meeting as the interim director of the Hardin County Crime Victims Assistance Center, to the Hardin County ****** assault response team, replacing Jennifer Walters.

The appointment was presented at the special meeting Dec. 30, 2024, as a request from Sheriff Davis, who the transcript identifies as SARP chairman. Commissioner Cooper moved the appointment, Commissioner Young seconded, and the court approved the motion by voice vote.

The presiding speaker thanked Nicks for serving and introduced Beth Martin Moore, who was described in the meeting as Nicks’s newest team member. "Thank you all for all that you do on behalf of the victims of crime in Hardin County," the presiding speaker said during the introduction.

No roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript; the court stated that three members were present and approved the motion by voice. The meeting record shows the motion passed without recorded dissent.

The appointment replaces Jennifer Walters on the assault response team; the transcript does not provide further details about Walters’s departure or about next procedural steps for the team.

The court moved on to other agenda items after the vote and did not take additional action on the assault response team during the special session.
