County commission approves Transportation authority board appointees

St. Joseph County commissioners approved appointing Sturgis-area residents Warren Atkins and Michael Wilson to the St. Joseph County Transportation Authority Board.

Their terms are for a two-year period.

The action took place during Tuesday’s board of commissioners meeting.

Also, commissioners granted undersheriff Jason Bingaman permission to hire a replacement for an administrative assistant.

The position was vacated last week upon the retirement of Susan Leist.
