Atchison Co Leaders Sworn In; Commission Reorganizes

By Brian Hagen

01/10/2017

(KAIR)--Atchison County officially marks the start of the new year, with leaders sworn in and the County Commission reorganizing.

On Monday morning, County officials, who were on the election ballot in November, were sworn in, as the oath of office was administered by outgoing County Clerk Pauline Lee.

The majority of the positions remained unchanged following the election, with the incumbents either running unopposed or defeating their challengers.

Lee's position was assumed by Michelle Phillips, who ran unopposed in November following her win in the August Republican primary election.

She was among the officials sworn in, with the ceremony effectively serving as the last of Lee's responsibilities, following decades of service to the county.

Once the Oath of Office ceremony was completed, and congratulations extended, the County Commission got down to business, meeting to reorganize for the new year.

Selected as Chairman was District 2 Commissioner Eric Noll, while 1st District Commissioner Jeff Schuele was chosen as Vice-Chair.

3rd District Commissioner Bill Pohl previously served as Chairman.

During the reorganization, the Commission made other decisions for 2017, including the selection of committee assignments for the Commissioners.
