With Leelanau County’s election results certified, the county’s next seven commissioners have been confirmed: Rick Robbins, Mark Walter, Will Bunek, Ty Wessell, Alan Campbell, Gwenne Allgaier, and Steve Yoder. And soon, that board will choose its county administrator.
The current board of commissioners wants to offer the administrator position to someone who will work well with the next board over their four-year terms, so they invited the newly elected officials to interviews. Six of the seven new commissioners gave feedback on the first round of interviews.
A second round with two finalist candidates — Mark Brown and James Dyer — is scheduled for Dec. 12. A third finalist, Kipling Belcher, was also invited, but he withdrew his application for the position late last month.
