(KNZA)--A new Doniphan County Noxious Weed Director has been hired.
The Doniphan County Commission Monday voted to hire Jim Norris, of Troy, for the position.
County Clerk Peggy Franken told MSC News that Norris was among two candidates interviewed.
He will replace Francis Hubbard, who is retiring effective March 29 after serving in the position the past 4 years.
Norris is to begin work February 25 at a salary of $18.50 an hour plus benefits. Upon successful completion of a 90-day probationary period, his pay will increase to $21 an hour.
The position has been considered a part-time seasonal job, but Commissioners have decided to make it a full-time, year round position with added responsibilities.
