Four applicants interviewed to fill a vacancy on the York County Board of Commissioners for District 2 focused on roads, budgets and representation as top priorities during a panel session.
Miss Dry, who described long experience handling payroll and workers' compensation at a nursing home, emphasized collaboration and availability. She said she would spend time learning committee assignments and listening to constituents, and she cited inconsistent road upkeep across the county as a concern.
Rick Pfeiffer described decades of local ties, work with schools and community organizations and current employment as circulation manager at the York News-Times. Pfeiffer said he could be available for county duties and praised the county's road and bridge planning, noting recent local bond work for a Centennial fine arts facility.
Craig Rome said he is semi-retired, has volunteer fire-department experience and cited taxes and roads as the county's top issues. He urged equal representation for agricultural areas and village residents, saying he wanted "equal representation for everybody."
Kent Norquist, who noted a long career with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, framed roads, employee training and retention, broadband expansion and zoning transparency as interrelated priorities. Norquist said county leaders should research options, educate residents and use technology to make meetings and materials more accessible.
The session closed with the panel announcing the appointment outcome: "According to the votes, the next Commissioner for District two will be Woody Ziegler." The transcript contains no vote tally, mover/second or stated start date for the new commissioner.
