After deliberation from multiple county committees, the DeWitt County Board has hired some new faces for open positions. 

Joe Witte, DeWitt County Board Chair, explains last month they received official recommendations to fill the Zoning and Animal Control Administrator positions.  

Many employers face issues with employee retention, and Witte explains the county is no different. He hopes the work Tony Harris has put into Animal Control will help combat burnout in the department. 

Both Elizabeth Weikle and Grace Moore's employment will be contingent on pre-employment testing, but both the Land Use and Public Safety committees believe there will be no issues on that front.
