(KNZA)--New 1st District Brown County Commissioner Richard Tesoriero took his seat on the County Commission Monday after being sworn-in.
District Judge John Weingart administered the oath of office to Tesoriero prior to the meeting.
Governor Laura Kelly approved his appointment to the Commission following his selection by members of the 1st District GOP precinct committee during a convention earlier this month.
Tesoriero will fill the unexpired term of former commissioner Rich Lehmkuhl, who recently resigned.
The term will expire in January 2027. The position is up for election in November 2026.
At Monday's meeting, the Commission approved a contract with BG Consultants, of Manhattan, for the inspection of 196 county bridges at a cost of $49,322. All bridges in the county must be inspected every two years.
