Logan County Board committee assignments for 2012

[February 21, 2012]  Members of the Logan County Board are assigned to committees in accordance with their skill sets and experience with governmental procedures and processes. The county board chairman makes the committee assignments.

The chairman seeks to find a balance of individuals and their skills within each committee, with most committees having five members. The assignments are typically reviewed each year, with few but some changes.

The current county board elected Robert Farmer as its chairman on Dec. 1, 2010. This is Farmer's second chairmanship. He was preceded by Terry Carlton and was chairman the term before Carlton. The board chairmanship is for two years and not repeatable consecutively.

Current members of the county board are Andy Anderson, Rick Aylesworth, Kevin Bateman, Terry Carlton, Robert D. Farmer, David R. Hepler, Bill Martin, Andrew Meister, Patrick O'Neill, M. Gene Rohlfs, Charles Ruben, Jan Schumacher.
