Board leaders elected
With a vote of 7-3-1, Jennifer Green a Yum! Brands attorney from District 7 was elected chair.
In a separate vote, Watson, who is the equity and compliance officer for the Louisville Metropolitan Sewer District, was voted vice chair. She is from District 11.
Green said during the meeting that getting the inspector general hired and set up for success is a priority. This board is ineffectual without a strong (inspector general) in place, Green said.
In the coming weeks, the board also will be responsible for establishing bylaws for structure and operation, according to Hollie Hopkins, a Jefferson County attorney advising the board.
