Freestone commissioners to interview for interim treasurer

By Roxanne Thompson

Fairfield Recorder

Freestone County Commissioners held a short meeting on Monday morning, Aug. 12, making two decisions before going into executive session.

The purpose of the executive session was to determine four finalists to interview on Wednesday for replacing retiring treasurer Jeannie Keeney.

When the court members returned to regular session, they agreed to interview on Wednesday the four finalists for replacing Keeney before making a final decision.

Apart from determining the four finalists, the court made two other decisions: first to keep the burn ban off.

Second, the commissioners agreed to reconsider and then accept a bid on a 1996 Ford pickup with a welding bed for the Precinct 1 Road and Bridge Department. The court had rejected the bid at a previous meeting.
