Expanded board of five at Washington County meeting
The Washington County Board of Supervisors expanded to five members at the 2009 first meeting. Incumbent James Miksch joined District 2 member Wesley Rich, District 3 Steve Davis, District 4 Adam Mangold, and District 5 James Rossen. Desks are lacking, with space carved at one table. Mangold asked about remodeling. auditor Bill Fredrick offered no definite plan. The board may move to the Safety Center when the Sheriff’s Office relocates to Orchard Hill near the county jail. Miksch was elected chairman and Rich vice chairman.
