(KNZA)--Doniphan County Economic Director Adrienne Korson has resigned.

Following an executive session Monday, the Doniphan County Commission accepted the resignation of Korson with regret.

No reason was given for the resignation, which is effective March 13th.

Korson has held the position for the past two years.

On the recommendation of Noxious Weed Director Francis Hubbard, the Commission voted to re-instate Phillip Robinson as part-time noxious weed assistant effective March 1st at salary of $11 an hour.

Road Supervisor Bob Edie presented the Commission with a proposed wage scale for the Road Department. It would set the starting wage at $15.00 per hour for new hires with a commercial driver’s license and $13.00 per hour for new hires without a CDL, with the requirement to obtain within 60 days of hire.

In addition, current employees under $15.00 per hour would be moved to $15.00 per hour and current employees being compensated at a rate higher than $15.00 per hour would be given a $1.00 per hour increase for every 10-years of service.

Commission Chairman Tad Geiger said future discussion would be held on restructuring the Road Department, along with wages for all County Departments
