After approving term limits for county beer board members on a 9-4 vote last month, the county commission voted on three beer board members, reappointing two, and ousting one.

 

During the March meeting of the commission Monday night, commissioners voted unanimously to appoint Myron Rhody as the 2nd District member of the beer board, replacing Frank Thomas, who was not nominated for reappointment. Incumbent 4th district member Robert Rowe and 6th District member Leonard Dickens were reappointed to the beer board.

 

Under the new measure approved by the commission, beer board terms are two years, beginning in April. The seven members of the beer board previously effectively served for life. Members must now be reappointed by the commission to new yearly terms if they continue in the position.

 

The terms are now staggered, with the first, third, fifth, and seventh district positions to be appointed in odd years, and the second, fourth, and sixth district positions to be appointed in even years. The beer board will also re-organize every two years.

 

Current beer board members include: Jim Stagi in the 1st District, Myron Rhody in the 2nd District, Edward Frazier in the 3rd District, Robert Rowe in the 4th District, Rhonda Caplinger in the 5th District, Leonard Dickens in the 6th District, and Johnny King in the 7th District.
