Shaee Flatt is District One’s newest county commissioner. He will fill the vacancy left by Dennis Slager. He was voted in by the commission during Monday night’s regular monthly meeting.
Three people, Tom Chandler, Waylon Kyle, and Shaee Flatt, wanted the position formerly held by Slager.
In November, Slager gave notice that he was resigning. A position he had held since being elected in 2018. He gave no reason for his decision.
Last month the county commission voted to accept Slager’s resignation although it wasn’t legally required and to move forward with filling the position after a notice of the vacancy had been published in the newspaper.
Flatt will will serve until Slager’s term expires on August 31, 2022.
