Decision on commissioner appointment pushed back to Wednesday

Lincoln County Commissioners Tony Berget and Mike Cole decided to reschedule the vote for a third commissioner appointment until Wednesday at 3 p.m.

The decision will be made by Berget and Cole, who must agree on which of the four finalists will be chosen to replace outgoing commissioner Ron Downey.

Last week Berget and Cole narrowed the field down to Rhoda Cargill, Jerry Bennett, Greg Larson, and Larry Dolezal.

At Tuesday's meeting, Cole said he had heard taken phone calls voicing both pros and cons for each candidate and was still undecided.

The vote will be at 3 p.m. on Wednesday in the Lincoln County commissioner's meeting room.
