your heart and soul to this job and we thank you,” board Chairwoman Coleen Magnussen told Dison during the meeting Dison said the major change he has seen over the years has been the increasing financial challenges especially in a mostly rural county with a small tax base and steadily declining population and its expenses are intensely scrutinized by the board “I think that’s going to be the biggest challenge (for a new sheriff),” he added Magnussen said Wednesday the board had expected Dison’s announcement so there had already been some thought about appointing a replacement She plans to consult with County Republican Chairman Mike Bigger as one step in selecting someone who is qualified to serve the next two years and also would seek election in 2018 “The County Board will be selecting a candidate for sheriff that has the upmost integrity and committed to the citizens of Stark County,” she wrote “It will also be important to select a candidate that will properly run the department to stay within (the budget) The candidate must also be a team player and have proven law enforcement experience and outstanding performance.” and he plans to spend a little more time on the
