(KNZA)--Brown County will be searching for a new county appraiser.

Following an executive session Monday with County Attorney Kevin Hill,  the County Commission approved a resolution to not re-appoint Jeff Ball to the position.

Commission Chairman Steve Roberts declined to comment on the decision.

Ball’s current term expires June 30th, and he was up for re-appointment to a 4-year term.    

Ball had served as county appraiser since July 2015 when he was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Paula Jones, who died unexpectedly in February 2015.

The county will be advertising for a new appraiser.

In the meantime, the Commission plans to appoint an interim appraiser until a qualified person can be found and will be working with the state Division of Property Valuation to find someone to fill the interim position.
