For several months now, DeWitt County Administrator DeeDee Rentmeister has been serving in the capacity of the zoning administrator.
Since the retirement of longtime administrator Angie Sarver, the zoning office in DeWitt County has gone through several changes, but no long-standing administrator. At the October Board meeting, Travis Houser asked what the future of that office looks like.
The hiring process is on hold because there are no applicants. Rentmeister indicates they thought they had a good applicant at one point but circumstances changed and they moved farther north than DeWitt County. On the issue of pay scale for the position, it doesn't appear the advertised salary is an issue.
The zoning office has been a point of focus in recent years with the development of the wind farm in DeWitt County.
