Butler County is looking for a new EMA Director following the resignation of Bob Luman on Monday.

Luman has served in that capacity since April 2009 and is now retiring.

Commission Chairman Jesse McWilliams said the announcement for the EMA job opening will be posted on both the state’s jobs website and the Association of County Commissions of Alabama’s website. Application cutoff date is Dec. 30, as  voted on by the county commission. Interviews will be conducted on Jan. 10, 2011, following the commission’s regular monthly meeting at 8:30 a.m.
McWilliams said Luman will serve as County EMA until a suitable replacement is found.

In other business:
The commission acknowledged a donation of property to the county from MTI. The property is located adjacent to the county annex.

Acknowledged approval of Myrick’s Grocery’s application for a package store license.

Corrected a typo error for surplus property sold following the August meeting. A sheriff’s vehicle listed as a 2003 Crown Victoria should have been listed as a 2000 Crown Victoria. The vehicle sold for $1,173.

Reminder: The county courthouse will be closed on Thursday, Dec. 23 and Friday, Dec. 24 for Christmas holidays. It will also be closed on Friday, Dec. 31.
