A former White County Manager will be coming out of retirement temporarily following the resignation of County Manager Joey Cason.
The White County Board of Commissioners announced Thursday morning at a called meeting that Michael Melton will serve as interim county manager in the wake of Cason's resignation.
A news release from the commission office said Melton will take on the role on Monday, March 28, 2022.
Melton served as the manager of White County from 2012 until his retirement in May 2020.
The release said Melton will serve in this interim role as the board conducts a search for a county manager on a permanent basis.
"As the Board continues our search for a full-time county manager the board wants to see our citizens served with the best customer service,” Commission Chairman Travis Turner said. “Mike’s working knowledge will help keep business moving forward. I appreciate Mike’s willingness to return to serve our citizens on an interim basis.”
