The Adair County Board of Supervisors, Monday, held their annual organizational meeting, and elected new officers. Steve Shelley was selected as Board Chair, and Matt Wedemeyer was picked for the Vice-Chairman’s seat.  The Board decided not to change the time of their meetings, which will be held (normally), each Wednesday at 9-a.m., in their Boardroom at the Adair County Courthouse.

Also at Monday’s meeting, Adair County Sheriff Jeff Vandewater reported Michael Herbert was hired as the new Jail Administrator and part-time deputy. Pending the routine screening procedure, Herbert will receive a starting salary of $45,000 per year and 10-days of vacation.
