The DeKalb County Community Complex has a new director. James Hendrixson, an employee of almost four years, has been given the job.

During last Monday night’s monthly county commission meeting, by a voice vote accepted the recommendation of the parks and recreation committee to hire Hendrixson. Seventh District Commissioner Bruce Malone voted no.

Fourth District member Dr. Scott Little, Chairman of the parks and recreation committee, made the motion and Seventh District member Beth Pafford offered a second to the motion.

“The committee met November 7 to re-interview the top two candidates for the position of director. The committee agreed that both candidates were very qualified, had great interviews, and are each in their own way an asset to the complex. After careful consideration of all factors the committee recommends James Hendrixson for the position of Director of the DeKalb County Community Complex,” said Dr. Little.
