County Mayor Tim Stribling was re-elected Chairman of the County Commission Monday night by acclamation. Sixth-district member Jeff Barnes, the longest serving member of the commission at 18 years, was named chairman pro temp.
The County Commission reorganizes each September naming a chairman and chairman pro temp to serve for the ensuing 12 months.
Although the County Mayor is typically selected to serve as chairman, the commission could opt to name one of its own for that role.
Members of the commission are Julie Young and Dennis Slager in the 1st district, Sabrina Farler and Myron Rhody in the 2nd district, Jenny Trapp and Bobby Johnson in the 3rd district, Scott Little and Janice Fish-Stewart in the 4th district, Jerry Adcock and Anita Puckett in the 5th district, Jeff Barnes and Matt Adcock in the 6th district, and Bruce Malone and Beth Pafford in the 7th district.
The commission meets in regular monthly session on the fourth Monday night at 6:30 p.m. usually in the downstairs courtroom of the courthouse but in recent months at the County Complex auditorium.
