The story
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners advertised vacancies on two boards: two openings on the Family and Children's Services Board and one on the Recreation Board.
By late June, two vacancies still existed on the Department of Family and Children Services Board, and commissioners said appointments were expected at their July 6 meeting.
On July 6, commissioners voted 3-0 to appoint Andrea Smith and Kenneth Dove to the Family and Children's Services Board for five-year terms.
At an August 25 work session, a staff member reported that two vacancies on the Recreation Board still need to be filled.
