Reappointed in a unanimous vote were Boyce Laughter and Terry Maybin. Appointed in Eblen's place was Elizabeth Willson Moss, who is director of Community Affairs and Outreach for Pardee Hospital. Commissioners Charlie Messer, Tommy Thompson and Michael Edney voted for Moss. Commissioners Grady Hawkins and Larry Young voted for Daniel Nicholas Mintz.
