(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has organized for the new year.
During their annual organizational meeting Monday, the Commission approved a resolution appointing new 2nd District Commissioner Lucas Heinen as board chairman for 2025. He replaces Rich Lehmkuhl who served as chairman for 2024.
It marked the first meeting for Heinen, who was elected last November and was sworn in prior to the meeting.
The Commission approved a resolution designating The Horton Headlight as the official county newspaper for 2025. That came after the Commission accepted the low bid submitted by the newspaper for the publication of legal notices in the amount of $2.20 a column inch. The Hiawatha World submitted a bid of $2.25 per column inch.
The Commission also approved a resolution designating the Citizens State Bank and Trust Company, Morrill and Janes State Bank—a division of Bank of Blue Valley—and GN Bank as the official 2025 Brown County banks for checking and investments.
