Sahs was more than concerned that board members were left out of the
loop in recommending the appointment of William D'Andrea to the post
of part-time zoning officer for Logan County.
Sahs questioned why this wasn't brought forth through the
executive committee and interviews were not conducted. Sahs also
questioned why the chairman was secretly doing this, after he
pledged openness and participation when taking the chairman's post
in December.
Several other board members, including Terry Werth and Vicky
Hasprey, questioned the timeliness and rush to fill this slot,
especially since a hiring freeze was passed until the audit for 2005
is complete.
D'Andrea will pick up some of the code enforcement and planning
duties left open by the recent resignation of Logan County
coordinator Dewey Colter.
In the end, the appointment was approved on an 11-1 vote, with
Sahs dissenting.

 In other action, the board gave approval for the appointments of
Mike Patridge and Stan Anderson to the Emergency System Telephone
Board and Dr. Richard Biven to the Logan County Board of Health.
Also approved is a new "no smoking" ordinance for all county
facilities and properties.
The proposed truancy ordinance was tabled for further language
changes.
It was also reported that a new animal control proposal was
forwarded to the city of Lincoln with a one-year term in the amount
of $35,000. This amount is down from the original quote of $44,000.
Finance chairman Chuck Ruben announced a special finance
committee meeting for March 27 at 7 p.m. to review the draft of the
2005 audit.
