Webster County supervisors approved several routine personnel and administrative items during their meeting, including a sheriff’s deputy hire, a fund transfer to telecom, EMS advisory appointments and committee assignments.
Deputy hire: The board approved hiring Tim Hopwood as a Webster County deputy with a proposed start date of Feb. 2, 2026.
