In October, DeWitt County Animal Control Administrator Tony Harris announced he will be stepping down from his position and the DeWitt County Board's Public Safety Committee took a step forward in naming his replacement. 

At Thursday night's DeWitt County Public Safety Committee Meeting, the committee interviewed Harris' top pick to take over his position, Grace Moore. 

In the interview, Moore highlighted her experience in management as well as her willingness to make the tough decisions that come with the position. 

Committee Members Buck Carter, John Werts, and Tom Farris all felt the interview went well, and that Moore would be a good fit. The Committee decided to officially recommend her to the County Board for the Animal Control Administrator position. 

The meeting also included Sherriff Mike Walker detailing an engine failure in one of the department's trucks, which ultimately will be replaced to keep them from needing to purchase a new vehicle.
