Four of five members of the Nelson County Board of Supervisors were present at the General District Courthouse in Lovingston this afternoon when their first meeting of the year began. The first item was a call for nominations from County Administrator Candice McGarry.
Central District Supervisor Ernie Reed nominated J. David Parr of the West District and there were four votes in favor. North District Supervisor Tommy Harvey was absent.
Outgoing chair Jesse Rutherford of the East District had some outgoing words.
“It’s been a great pleasure being Chairman of the board for the last two years,” Rutherford said. “It’s been pretty chaotic at times and one of the things we appreciate the most in being in a small town is being able to communicate with each other and be able to work on problems of this community and what we see in the future and how we decide that.”
Rutherford named Reed as vice chair and again there were four votes in support with one absence.
