(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission, during their regular meeting this week, voted unanimously to terminate 3rd District road foreman Stephen Gerdes, effective immediately.

No reason was given for the action, which followed a short executive session.

Gerdes had held the position since January 2016.

The Commission voted in late August to terminate 2nd District road foreman Nicholas Popple, who had served in the position since October 2019.

Last month, the Commission voted to hire Jerry Wayne Carter as the new 2nd District road foreman.

In other business, County resident Nathan Bokay asked Commissioners to consider a countywide mask mandate to help combat the spread of the coronavirus.

It was consensus of Commissioners that due to the lack of ability to enforce a mask mandate, to encourage and recommend but not require the wearing of masks along with usage of personal protective equipment, proper hygiene and social distancing.
