(KNZA)--A Garnett, Kansas man has begun work as the new Brown County appraiser.
The County Commission Monday approved a resolution officially appointing Steve Markham to the position.
Markham comes to Brown County after serving as the county appraiser in Anderson County in east central Kansas.
Brown County has been without a full-time appraiser since May of last year.
Meanwhile, the Commission plans to begin advertising for a new emergency management director.
Undersheriff Randy Linck resigned from the position last month but has agreed to continue in the role until a replacement is hired.
County Clerk Melissa Gormley Monday presented job descriptions for the position from various counties for the Commission's review.
The Commission said they would like to advertise the position for two weeks.
The Commission plans to review applications on Monday, March 18, and start scheduling interviews at that time.
