GRANTS PASS, Ore. – The two remaining Josephine County Commissioners will appoint a replacement for former Commissioner Dan DeYoung.
NBC5 News told you Monday that Commissioner DeYoung resigned, after telling the county finance director to “sit on my lap” earlier this month.
According to Commissioner Herman Baertschinger, state statute leaves the decision of who should fill the empty seat on the three-member board, up to the remaining two commissioners.
He says he expects the process to be a quick one.
“The state statute says we have to appoint somebody within 30 days,” says Baertschinger, “I anticipate it happening in the next week or so.”
Josephine County residents interested in applying, can submit their name for consideration by contacting the Commissioner’s Office at 541-474-5221.
