A new-look Chautauqua County Commission met in regular session on Monday.

 

The meeting was the first for new commissioner David Deal since his election last November. He replaced the outgoing Jack Carpenter, who retired after 28 years on the county commission. Parker Massey, the First District commissioner, was nominated and seconded to once again serve as the commission chairman. He was also delegated decision-making powers regarding "higher employment" situations. 

 

In other business, the commission approved on-premises and to-go cereal malt beverage licenses for Peru Truck Stop, and had a brief discussion on the solid waste and dumping problems the county is currently facing. 

 

As per their decision today, the Chautauqua County Commission will continue to meet each Monday and the last working day of the month. Their next meeting will be January 18th at 8:30 am.
