We have received confirmation from the Parks Department that this position has been changed to a Director of Operations and Cory Howard, former park manager at South Harrison has been hired.

We have requested a job description from the Parks Department. The office manager was not able to provide us with that information, but assured us it can be obtained.

We have asked the council if they were notified of this change and received a response from councilman Kyle Nix who insisted that "the Harrison County Parks is not controlled by Harrison County elected officials. They have their own executive governing body that is their board. It does happen to have some overlap with Harrison County Council being the governing fiscal body for the parks."
