| The Eagle County Board of Commissioners is now accepting resumes and letters of interest for consideration to begin the process to appoint an interim County Clerk and Recorder. Current Clerk and Recorder Regina O’Brien stepped down from the position effective January 4 and Chief Deputy Clerk and Recorder Stacey Jones is assuming the duties of the Office until the Board appoints a replacement. Comprehensive information including a list of responsibilities, salary, and details about the appointment process and how interested persons may submit materials is available on the county website. The deadline for submission is midnight on Jan. 20. Interviews with candidates will commence after the deadline in the final week of January and early February, and a resolution announcing the appointed Clerk is anticipated for February 11. The Clerk and Recorder is an elected position. When elected officials vacate office, the Board of County Commissioners appoints a qualified person to fill the vacancy until a successor is elected according to law. In this case, the appointed Clerk will serve from the date of appointment until the next general election in November 2026, at which time that individual will be eligible to run for the office if desired. The winner of the election will then fill out the remainder of the current term of the Clerk and Recorder, expiring January 12, 2027, and will also start a new four-year term on that date. Thereafter, the Clerk and Recorder would be required to run for office at intervals, as all elected county officials are required to do. |
