(KNZA)--A new Brown County appraiser has been hired.

Following an executive session Monday, the County Commission voted to hire Tamie Antoine, of Marysville, at salary of $51,480.

She was among three candidates interviewed for the position.

Antoine has worked in the Marshall County Appraiser's Office the past twenty years in various positions, serving as county appraiser since October 2015. 

She will replace Jeffery Ball who the Commission decided late last month not to re-appoint. Ball was appointed in July 2015 to fill the unexpired term of the Paula Jones who died in February 2015. His term expired June 30th.

Curt Clark, who serves as senior data collector in the appraiser's office, has been serving as interim appraiser since that time.

County Clerk Melissa Gromley says Antoine is to begin work July 17th.
