Thiessen recommended the hiring of Blackman as the county's development director.
"Peggy is connected with the agencies necessary to make this work," said Thiessen.
"There are a whole host of programs that are needed to be started for Marion County," Thiessen added. He said that Blackman has the contacts to get things accomplished.
"It's not good government to come with a person for the program," said Garrett. "I would rather see a program determined and then choose the person. We do need a coordinator county-wide but not sure if it's a full time position."
