It's been about a year since the DeWitt County Board established an ethics commission and an IT ad hoc committee.

Thursday night at the DeWitt County Board meeting, Board Chair Joe Witte updated on the status of the ethics commission - noting this is a committee that is largely called upon for ethics investigations.

The IT ad hoc committee met earlier this month, and Pat Ryan made note of the discovery of the help they, in fact, needed to keep the County's digital information safe.

According to Witte (right) , the ad hoc committee has a little more work yet to do before its one-year sunset, but he hopes to see another year granted to this group.

Thursday night, the DeWitt County Board approved Brenda Reeser, Joseph Summers, and Aaron Kammeyer to the Ethics Commission.
