It was announced that an appointment to the DHR Board to fill the vacant term of Troy Patterson would be made at the March 24th commission meeting, and it was noted that resumes and letters will be accepted through Wednesday, March 19th.

Three Special Requests for funds were submitted – Chairman Kirk Day
