Commissioners send sheriff vacancy notice to county Republican central committee to start replacement process
Summary
The board approved a notice of vacancy for the Sweetwater County sheriff's office and will send it to the county Republican central committee, which will meet June 13 to interview and nominate three candidates; the commissioners will then have five days to appoint one of the nominees.
The Sweetwater County Board of County Commissioners authorized the chairman to sign and transmit a vacancy notice for the Office of the Sweetwater County Sheriff to the Sweetwater County Republican Party Central Committee. The notice formally starts the statutory process the board must follow when a sheriff's office vacancy occurs.
Under the statutory timeline, the central committee will meet (the chair indicated the meeting was scheduled for June 13 at the Green River campus of Western Wyoming Community College), interview candidates and forward three nominees to the commissioners; once the board receives those names it will have five days to appoint one of the nominees to fill the vacancy. Commissioners asked about deadlines for filing with the party (a June 10 filing deadline was noted), and the central committee representative described the upcoming meeting logistics. The motion to approve the notice passed unanimously.
