And it appears commissioners will follow a private interview process similar to the one used during the recent appointment of attorney David Norton as a General Sessions judge.
Fairchild has announced he will step down March 15 because of health problems. Commissioners then have 120 days to appoint someone to serve the rest of his term until 2014.
Commission Chairman Larry Henry said the panel will lay out the appointment process for his replacement at its Wednesday meeting.
“We’ll probably do it similar to what we did with the judge,” Henry said Monday.
