Jackson County commissioners met March 25 and approved a series of routine financial and contractual items, including the hiring of a full-time courthouse security guard.
The board began with a roll call confirming Commissioners Paul Haller, Jon Hensler and Donnie Willis were present and unanimously approved the March 18 minutes. On financial business, commissioners authorized a reimbursement transfer of $1,852.80 from account 710-2100-5946.00 (Reimb.
