A committee formed by the Liberty County Board of Commissioners met Wednesday to consider amending an attendance policy that affects those appointed to serve on locally created county boards. Commissioners expressed concern that the current board-attendance policy might need to be strengthened, and they want to ensure that the people they appointed to serve on local boards would be responsive to the public and conduct themselves appropriately as an extension of the commission.Committee members also touched on the board-appointment process and board members’ length of terms.During an Oct. 17 commission meeting, commissioners Gary Gilliard, Eddie Walden, Justin Frasier and Marion Stevens Sr. agreed to serve on the committee. Commission Chairman Donald Lovette, County Administrator Joey Brown and County Attorney Kelly Davis sat in on the policy-review meeting this week.The commission had directed Davis to take a look at the BoC’s board policies and help determine which locally created boards might need more oversight by commissioners.
