(KMZA)--A new Marshall County appraiser has been hired.
The Marysville Advocate reports the County Commission voted 2-1 this week to hire current Washington County Appraiser Francine Crome for the position. Commissioner David Baier cast the lone no vote.
The Commission approved a resolution appointing Crome to a 4-year term, beginning July 1st.
She replaces current appraiser Tami Antoine whose contract expires June 30th.
The Commission decided earlier this month to advertise the county appraiser position, although they expressed no dissatisfaction in the job Antoine was doing.
Antoine was the lowest-paid appraiser in Kansas with a salary of $42,400, and Crome told the newspaper she will be taking a pay cut of about $500 to become the Marshall County appraiser.
Crome, who lives in Marysville, previously served in the Marshall County Appraiser’s office as a deputy appraiser for 11 years before taking the Washington County job.
