DeWitt County Board Considering Changes in Zoning Office

The DeWitt County Board is considering changes in its zoning office in the future.

 

DeWitt County Board Chair David Newberg says the idea came from a recent chat he had with his colleague in Christian County, where they have combined their zoning administrator position and animal control position. He says the logistics wouldn't work for something like that in DeWitt County but it got him to thinking about how to make County government more efficient.

 

 

Zoning administrator Angie Sarver will retire at the end of the month and Newberg says the Board has decided to appoint an interim zoning administrator. DeeDee Rentmeister, who is the County's Administrator, will again take on the interim role. Something, as Newberg points out, she has done before.

 

 

Former Zoning Administrator, Mike Bradford, will step in as the interim field inspector. Newberg explains Bradford will only be required for a limit time during the week and is only offering his services for a short time while the County sorts out the Zoning office's future.

 

 

The County has 60 days to decide their course of action for the zoning office's future. Newberg says when you consider consolidation like this, you have to make sure there is a seamless offering of services within the County Building.
