LOCK HAVEN -- Susan Peters has been promoted to deputy manager of the Clinton County Conservation District, effective May 3.

The promotion received unanimous approval by the Clinton County commissioners, who set Peters' salary at $36,297.

Several other personnel matters were acted on at Thursday's meeting of the commissioners, including:

-- Hiring Ashley Moll as Agricultural Resources Conservationist at the Clinton County Conservation District, effective May 10 at a salary of $36,297.

-- Accepting the resignations of Debra Minihan as a clerk at the office of District Judge John Maggs; Paige Sockman, adult probation officer, and Dennis Grenninger, security guard in the sheriff's department.

-- Approval of the reassignment of Amanda Guisewite from Specialty Courts Administrator to Adult Probation Officer at an annual salary of $36,318.

Commissioner Miles Kessinger responded to a question from Michelle Whitney about who is responsible to clean up wreckage following a vehicle accident.

Whitney said she noticed a section of Interstate 80 in Clinton County is littered with wreckage from vehicle accidents, and asked who is responsible to clean it up. She said she contacted PennDOT and they told her it is not their responsibility.

Kessinger said he could not answer the question but would look to the Emergency Services department for answers and let her know what he finds out.
