Greene County Commission welcomes new in-house counsel Mark Hamilton
The Christian County Commission meeting held on June 20, 2025, commenced at 9:30 AM with all three commissioners present: Western Commissioner Johnny Williams, Eastern Commissioner Bradley Jackson, and Presiding Commissioner Lynn Morris. The meeting was notable for the introduction of Mark Hamilton as the county's new in-house counsel, a significant shift from the previous reliance on an outside law firm for legal matters.

Commissioner Williams emphasized the need for immediate legal support during meetings, citing delays in responses from the former county attorney, Austin Fox, who also serves Greene County. The decision to appoint Hamilton aims to enhance the efficiency of legal consultations for the commission and other elected officials.

The agenda for the meeting included the approval of minutes from several previous sessions, including closed sessions related to litigation and personnel matters. The commissioners unanimously approved the consent agenda without any financial reports presented for discussion.

The meeting proceeded with the first agenda item concerning maintenance, led by Supervisor Mr. Teague, indicating a focus on operational matters for the county. The introduction of in-house legal counsel and the approval of past meeting minutes were key highlights, setting the stage for future discussions on county operations and governance.
