(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has reorganized for 2019.
The Commission held their re-organizational meeting Tuesday, which was pushed back a week due to the absence of Commissioner Dwight Kruse last week.
2nd District Commissioner Keith Olsen was unanimously selected as commission chairman for 2019.
The Commission designated the Citizens State Bank and Morrill and Janes Bank as the official checking and investment banks for the county.
The Horton Headlight was designated as the official county newspaper.
The meeting began with the pledge of allegiance and a prayer—two new changes that have been added.
New 1st District Commissioner Richard Lehmkuhl, who was sworn in last week following his election in November, asked that a prayer be given before every meeting. He said he will contact someone to be at the meetings. Rev. Jim Ferris, pastor of Hiawatha’s Calvary Assembly of God Church, delivered the prayer Tuesday.
The pledge of allegiance was added last week by Olsen.
