The Langlade County Board of Supervisors approved filling two soon-vacant positions at the highway department at its Tuesday meeting, but did it with a twist.
On a unanimous vote, supervisors backed the decision to fill the posts, but on an amendment by Michael Klimoski, added language that give applicants from outside this area an edge in the hiring.
Two of the department’s key employees, Tim Rusch, the commissioner, and Kenneth Washatko, the patrol superintendent, are retiring in May and June. Approval at the Tuesday meeting allows the advertising and interview process to get underway.
