Recap of February 14 BOS Meeting

February 15 Meeting Recap
BOS Elects Donald Hunter
To Vice Chairman Post

The Board of Supervisors at its February 14 meeting broke a stalemate and elected District 2 Supervisor Donald Hunter as Vice Chairman for 2017.

It took three meetings for the BOS to decide its choice. Hunter was unanimously elected after District 1 Supervisor Jerry Skalsky decided no longer to pursue the position. The two had been previously deadlocked by 2-2 votes at the January 10 & 24 meetings.

Supervisor T.J. Webb is still recovering from an industrial accident and missed the meeting.

Hunter is serving his first term on the Board of Supervisors after previously holding the Office of Sheriff in Prince George County. He is also the County’s Deputy Coordinator of Emergency Management.
