Hugh Washer Reappointed to DeKalb Utility District Board

Hugh Washer has been appointed to a new four year term on the DeKalb Utility District Board of Commissioners.
County Mayor Tim Stribling informed the county commission Monday night that he had reappointed Washer to the board. Washer’s current term expires August 31.
By law, the DUD board must certify a list of three names in order of preference to the county mayor, who has the sole authority to make the appointment.
During a recent meeting, the DUD board voted to certify a list of nominees to the county mayor to fill the position. Washer’s name was listed first followed by the names of Paul Blair and Kerry Davis.
Meanwhile the term of Danny Bass, Smith County’s representative on the DUD Board, is also expiring August 31. The DUD board has certified a list of nominees to fill that position. Bass’ name was listed first followed by the names of Bill Woodard and Mike Weaver. The Smith County Mayor will make that appointment to a four year term.
The DUD Board is made up of five members, three from DeKalb County (Jimmy Womack, Joe Foutch, and Hugh Washer), one from Cannon (Roger Turney), and one from Smith County (Danny Bass). The terms are staggered. All terms are for four years.
County Mayor Stribling also announced to the county commission Monday night that he has reappointed James Hodges to another term on the DeWhite Utility District. Other nominees submitted for consideration were Harold Massa and Joshua Holloway.
