Grand Traverse Co. Close To Hiring New Administrator

Posted: Updated:

Grand Traverse County is close to hiring a new county administrator.

Tonight the county board of commissioners voted to support Dave Benda as the county's new administrator.

Not everyone was on board with Benda at first, a few commissioners were in favor of James Gitz, a private practice attorney.

Benda served 16 years as an administrator, in both Clinton and Midland counties.

Before he's hired, the county will negotiate his salary.

The county still needs to review a back ground check on Benda.

They'll contact him in the next few days.
