Summary
At the July 15 meeting the board appointed and sworn in Heather Mueller‑Jones to fill the vacancy in County Board District 27 caused by the death of Clint Jones; committee assignments were updated accordingly.
The Madison County Board approved the appointment of Heather Mueller‑Jones to County Board District 27 and the County Clerk administered the oath of office at the July 15 telephonic meeting. The appointment followed notice of the July 3 passing of former District 27 board member Clint Jones.
Following the swearing‑in, the board approved a slate of committee changes to reflect the vacancy: Mueller‑Jones was added to County Institutions, Grants, Health Department and Public Safety committees; other committee chair and member adjustments were made to replace the late Clint Jones and reassign leadership where needed.

The board then approved previous meeting minutes and received correspondence and departmental reports.
