(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission is considering a proposed new position.
County Commission Chairman Rich Lehmkuhl said last week he would like to move forward with the hiring of a project or operations manager, who would oversee certain county operations like the road and bridge department and county landfill.
Lehmkuhl said he believes the position would be " a plus" for the county.
He said he had prepared a preliminary job description, and was seeking the input of his fellow commissioners.
Commissioner Lamer Shoemaker said he had no problem with the position but thought more research would be needed along with a detailed job description.
Commissioner Bill Pollock stated he was not in favor of the new position.
