CLARK COUNTY — The Clark County Board on Friday, July 17, 2026, approved three appointment motions covering four seats on outside boards, each carried unanimously among the members present at the courthouse in Marshall.

Randal Stephens moved to appoint Steven Smith to the North Fork Conservancy District Board, seconded by Mike Parsons. The minutes describe the seat as a five-year term that will expire on 8/21/2031. All members present voted aye.

Parsons then moved to appoint Steve Atwood to the Union York Water Board, seconded by Brandon Burkybile. That seat is also recorded as a five-year term, expiring 8/1/2031.

The third motion, by Todd Kuhn and seconded by Burkybile, combined two reappointments: Tony Williams to the Clark County Housing Board for a five-year term expiring 8/1/2031, and Rhonda Parker, tenant, for a one-year term expiring 8/1/2027. The minutes identify Parker’s seat only by that designation and give no further description of the tenant position.

What the Record Does Not Say

The minutes distinguish between appointments and reappointments — Smith and Atwood are recorded as appointed, Williams and Parker as reappointed — but they do not say whose terms Smith and Atwood are taking up, whether those seats were vacant, or when the predecessors’ terms ended. No résumés, letters of interest or committee recommendations accompany the item in the released materials, and the appointment motions carry no attachment reference.

The board’s July agenda lists the three appointment items as North Fork Conservancy District, Union York Water, and Clark County Housing Authority. The minutes refer to the third body as the Clark County Housing Board.

The appointments came immediately before the board went into closed session on personnel at 9:01 a.m. Members returned to open session at 10:13 a.m. and took no recorded action connected to that session.

The board adjourned at 10:28 a.m. until Aug. 21, 2026, at 8 a.m.
