Fayette County has re-appointed a member of its Recreation Commission, and tapped a soon-to-be-former employee for its Board of Assessors.
On Dec. 12, the Board of Commissioners voted 4-0-1 (with Charles Rousseau absent) to grant Charles McCollum another term on the rec commission, which will expire in August 2023. A three-member selection committee chose him from among three applicants. At the recommendation of two of its own members, the commissioners also appointed Bruce Donaghey to the county’s three-member Board of Assessors, filling the unexpired term of Therese Ocheltree, who resigned. Donaghey’s appointment was contingent upon his resignation as an appraiser in the Fayette tax assessors’ office, where he has worked for 18 years. His resignation is effective Dec. 31, and he will assume his new duties Jan. 1 through December 2021.
The only other applicant for that position was the county’s newly retired finance director, Mary Parrott.
