A Three Rivers resident has been reappointed to the St. Joseph County Road Commission Board.
Members of the county commission last week agreed to retain Dave Allen for a six-year term. Allen’s reappointment to the five-member road commission board was endorsed by its chairman, John Bippus.
A Florence Township resident last month encouraged county officials to consider other candidates. Tim Carls, told the board Nov. 17 he has reservations about reappointing Allen and suggested it conduct interviews before making the appointment.
