During a special virtual meeting Tuesday, Commissioners interviewed a total of three candidates.
County documents had previously stated that there would be five interviews, but two candidates had withdrawn their applications, leaving the decision between applicants Thom Miller, Monteze Morales and Tammy Taylor.
A candidate would need six votes to pass, and Morales made out with a total of seven after being nominated.
Morales, a Democrat, says she has been a resident of Kalamazoo County for almost 40 years. She currently works for Kalamazoo Valley Community College as a program manager for Kalamazoo Promise services.
She also works for the Public Housing Commission as Vice Chair. She cited her experience with this and other boards, such as OutFront Kalamazoo, as qualifiers for the position.

Rubicon expands presence with new global headquarters
Kentucky-founded waste and recycling software provider deepens roots with new office.
Rubicon, a Lexington, Kentucky-based software platform provider that offers smart waste and recycling solutions to businesses and governments worldwide, announced that the company is opening a new office space in Lexington which will now serve as the firm’s global headquarters.
The location expands the company’s existing footprint in the state and honors its Kentucky roots, the company says. It joins the company’s other executive leadership office in New York City, which has remained in operation throughout the past year as the majority of Rubicon’s workforce transitioned to remote operations, a significant portion of which continues to be based in the Atlanta metro region.
