(KAIR)--Reorganization for the new year.  

That happened Monday during the weekly regular meeting of the Jefferson County Commission.  

That included a switch in leadership, with former Vice-Chair Wayne Ledbetter named as Chairman for 2016, while former Chairman Richard Malm was selected by vote as the Vice-Chair.  

As part of the process, the Commission designated The Oskaloosa Independent as the official county newspaper, while the Courthouse hours, and Commission meeting schedule, remains the same as last year.  

Standard procedure during reorganization calls for the Commission to decide which banking institution, or institutions, to use for financial services. However, due to the absence of the County Treasurer, that action was placed on hold until next week's meeting.
