With New Board Member, DeWitt County Board Reshuffles

With the introduction of a new County Board member in May, the DeWitt County Board had to re-adjust their their committee assignments.

Dan Ballenger, who resigned the board in the spring to serve on the City Council, was the head of two committees and because of that, County Board Chair David Newberg indicates, they will have new leads of those committees, and the others have been adjusted as well.

With the re-introduction of the committee system with the new board, Newberg indicates they faced a few challenges because there were some members that had never served on a committee before.

The committee system was done away with under the previous board because a majority felt the full board did not know what was happening at the individual committee level, but Newberg argues every board member has access to those meeting minutes and can attend the meetings as well.

Newberg points out every committee has represenation from each district.
