CLINTON — The county board chose a new chairman and vice chairman Monday as members met in-person and virtually to reorganize following the November election.

Newly-elected board members took their oaths of office from county clerk Dana Smith before Monday’s meeting.  Those new members included Aaron Kammeyer, Claro “Buck” Carter, Megan Myers and Jamie Prestegaard.  David Newberg, Terry Ferguson, Melonie Tilley, Christy Pruser, Jay Wickenhauser, Travis Houser, Nate Ennis and Dan Matthews round out the board membership.

Board members then elected Melonie Tilley as new vice chairman by a vote of 8-3-1.  Tilley voted present.
