Fourth Judicial District Court Judge Darci Phillips has handed down her decision on the candidates she will consider for appointment to the Sheridan County Commission and set the date for her final decision.
Phillips has decided that she will make an appointment from the three candidates, Michael Arzy, Bryan Helfrich, and Holly Jennings, that were forwarded to the county commission last month for consideration by the Sheridan County Republican Central Committee.
The commission, in a decision at a special meeting on August 29, opted not to choose any of the candidates to fill the seat vacated by Allen Thompson, who resigned earlier this summer.
The commission’s lack of a decision prompted Gail A. Symons, a Sheridan County Elector, to file a Petition with Clerk of District Court Rene Botten requesting that the court fill the vacancy.
According to the Court Order dated Friday, September 1, the court will interview the three candidates on Wednesday, September 13 at 9 a.m. with questioning happening in open court in the District Courtroom.
The court will issue a written decision on the selection of a new commissioner on or before Tuesday, September 19.
