The Kent County Board of Commissioners began the first meeting in 2017 by welcoming three new Commissioners, as well as other elected officials.
Betsy Metlton, Phil Skaggs and Robert Womack took the Oath of Office Tuesday morning before the Board began the meeting. The Board also approved some changes in leadership.
Commissioner Jim Saalfeld was re-elected Chair of the Board and begins his second year in this role. Commissioner Mandy Bolter will now be Vice-Chair of the Board and Chair of the Legislative and Human Resources Committee.
“Mandy has demonstrated great leadership in her role over the past three years,” said Jim Saalfeld, Board Chair. “I am excited to work with Mandy in leadership during this new term,” Saalfeld said in a press release.
The Board also approved appointments for various committees, subcommittees and boards. The County received 215 applications for 56 vacancies.
