NATCHEZ, Miss. – The new Adams County Board of Supervisors began the first meeting of its four-year term Monday with the election of Ricky Gray as president.
Gray and Angela Hutchins are the board’s two veterans as three newcomers became supervisors last week with the start of the new year. Gray began his second term as District 4 supervisor while Hutchins enters her third term representing District 3. She was elected to be the board’s vice president.
New supervisors Warren Gaines of District 5, Wes Middleton of District 1 and Kevin Wilson of District 2 joined Gray and Hutchins to reappoint Joe Murray as county administrator and Scott Slover as board attorney – two key county officials who’ve been at the board table during meetings with supervisors for at least eight years.
The supervisors on Monday also reappointed other long-serving holdovers to county government positions, such as the county engineer, inventory clerk and purchasing clerk.
