“I’m looking forward to the challenges,” commission Chairman Louie Alford said. “We’re losing some good people, but we are getting some good people.”
The key committee, Finance, is losing all of its members and will have to be rebuilt, he said.
Commissioner and Finance Chairman Ed Elkins did not seek re-election, nor did committee members Bill Ledford or J. Adam Lowe, who is commission vice chairman. The other two Finance members, Jeff Morelock and Mel Griffith, lost their seats in the recent election.
Commissioners Connie Wilson and Brian Smith did not seek re-election.
