Commission hears two applicants for District 4 domestic animal task-force seat; District 2 applicant supported by CEO
Summary
Two residents applied for the District 4 seat on the domestic animal task force; applicants emphasized the need for rural representation and local knowledge. Jessica Ricks was recommended for the District 2 seat. Both items were placed on the next meeting agenda for formal appointment.
The commission considered applications for the domestic animal task force. Rosanna Peters (applicant for District 4) said she applied because she believed no one had come forward to represent the area and asked that the appointee live in a rural area to ensure rural representation.
Jeffrey Miles, another District 4 applicant, emphasized that ‘‘the majority of the county is rural’’ and urged that people who live in rural areas represent those areas, noting he had recently joined county department work and proactively reviewed the ordinance. A commissioner recommended placing the appointment on the agenda; both District 4 applicants were placed on next week's agenda.
For District 2, CEO and staff spoke in support of Jessica Ricks, noting her county experience and prior work for the county and unions. The commission placed the District 2 appointment on next week’s agenda for formal action.
