Commissioners continue discussion on creating a county administrator position to next week
Summary
The board voted to continue consideration of creating a county administrator position after candidate Dan High asked whether the question would go on the ballot; Commissioners discussed eligibility of an employee-based administrator for ballot placement.
The Madison County Board of Commissioners continued consideration of a proposal to create a county administrator position to its next regular meeting.
Dan High, a candidate for District 2 Commissioner, asked whether the proposal would appear on the ballot. Commissioner William A. Todd said an employee‑based administrator would be disqualified from appearing on the ballot if the position transitioned to an elected county executive, which is an elected office subject to voter approval. Following discussion, Commissioner Todd moved to continue the item to next week; Commissioner Duke W. Gilman seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
No final direction or vote on establishing the county administrator position was taken; the item will be placed on the agenda for the next meeting for further consideration and potential public notice.
