The Estate of Carl Edward Canfield was presented through documentation by Fiduciary Commissioner A.L. Emch and was approved by the commission. His suggestions for settlement were “presented to all parties for their consideration” according to Commission President Tammy Tincher.
There have been no bids for snow removal services this winter at county offices.
In county hires, Sheriff Bruce Sloan recommended Billy Mitchell for rehire as a deputy sheriff. The Commissioners approved this recommendation as well as Director of Emergency Management Don Haven’s recommendation for Franklin Campbell in a part-time capacity with Emergency Services.
