(KAIR)--The Atchison County Road and Bridge Superintendent has been terminated.
That follows a unanimous vote of the Atchison County Commission that came just prior to the adjournment of Tuesday’s regular meeting.
Third District Commissioner Bill Pohl made the motion to end Seth Howard’s employment with the County. “I make a motion, effective today, that we go in a different direction in our road and bridge, and Seth Howard is terminated as of today,” Pohl said, just prior to the vote.
The decision of the Commission followed an executive session held to discuss matters of non-elected personnel.
Howard was present at the closed door meeting.
No reason for the decision was stated publicly.
According to Atchison County Human Resource Director Jamie Madison, Howard had served in the position since June, 2015.
