Crawford County commissioners reorganize, appoint members to redevelopment and park boards

The Crawford County Board of Commissioners met Jan. 6, 2026, in a reorganizational session that included officer nominations and several board appointments. The board elected its leadership by voice vote, moved to close the reorganization portion of the meeting and reopened as a special meeting to act on appointments.

During the nominations, a commissioner nominated "Dale" for president and another commissioner nominated a candidate identified in the transcript as "Flurry Inc." for vice president; the board then acknowledged that Larry Engle would serve in the vice president role. The transcript records the nominations being seconded and accepted by voice vote.

The board approved the appointment of Paul Broton to the Redevelopment Commission after a motion to appoint him was made and seconded. Commissioners also approved appointments to the Middletown Whiskey Run Park Protection District, naming Terry Jones, Terry Strad and an individual whose name is recorded in the transcript as "Camp Ro," each to four-year terms.

Board members referenced an EMA board seat during the appointments discussion and asked staff to follow up; materials were passed to staff member Wendy for action. The meeting record shows these appointment motions were approved by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.

The session was procedural in nature and focused on reorganizing leadership and filling board vacancies. The board moved on to routine business and the finance agenda after completing the appointment items.

Notes: The transcript records the names "Flurry Inc." and "Camp Ro" as presented during the meeting; these may be transcription artifacts or informal renderings of names. Those names are reported here exactly as they appear in the transcript and are flagged in the clarifying details for verification.
