The county approved an order by Chancery Court Judge Larry Buffington appointing Marc Brand as the Public Defender in Youth Court at the rate of $800 per month until January and the monthly rate will go to $1,200. The difference is the amount the county is paying to Oliver Diaz, who will serve through December. The board recessed until Monday November 9 for a bid opening for the Department of Human Resources new building.
