LUDOWICI — “Absolutely not true, we have not hired an administrator, and all the reports and rumors saying that are false,” Long County Commissioner Cliff DeLoach said.
Ludowici and Long County has been buzzing lately with talk of the county hiring a new county administrator, and DeLoach, who is the only returning commissioner for the next four years, was quick to correct these rumors.
“There has been a lot said, about how much we were going to pay the man, and when he was going to start, but the reality is we haven’t made any decision, on anyone or how much they would be paid,” DeLoach added.
He said the only decision made regarding the hiring of an administrator was, “We probably are going to wait until the first of the year to try to hire one then.”
Commissioners had contract consultant Vernon Martin, with the Mercer Group, to research and find qualified candidates, and Martin had submitted 12 finalists at the July commissioner meeting, for the group to choose from.
According to DeLoach, the Commissioners had narrowed the group to three, and begun interviews, but none of the three had been hired.
