District 1 Carroll County Supervisor Scott Johnson has been selected to temporarily serve as the board’s vice-chair through the end of the calendar year. The position was previously held by District 5 Supervisor Rich Ruggles, whose resignation from county government is effective today (Tuesday). The role of the board of supervisors’ vice-chairperson is to serve during the absence of the elected chair. Johnson will only hold this position for a few weeks, as the board will select a new chair and vice-chair for 2023 at their first meeting in January. Each supervisor serves on several boards and committees, and temporary replacements were also chosen to fill in through the end of the year. The supervisors will need to reappoint board and committee assignments at least twice in the first few months of 2023. The first will be part of the annual organizational meeting and again after the Feb. 7 special election to fill the vacancy created by Ruggles’ resignation.
