(KNZA)--A new Brown County emergency management director has been hired.
The Brown County Commission voted Monday to offer the position to former Richardson County Sheriff Don Pounds, of Falls City, for salary of $40,000.
Pounds resigned earlier this month as sheriff.
The Brown County Clerk’s Office reports Pounds has accepted the offer and is to begin work July 29.
He was among three candidates interviewed Monday.
Pounds will replace James Stuart who was terminated June 17. Stuart had held the position since April 22.
The Commission decided earlier this year to change the position from part-time to full-time.
