County Commission set to appoint new probate judge

San Juan County Commission is scheduled to appoint a new probate judge during the 4 p.m. Dec. 15 meeting. The commission will likely go into closed session and then reconvene to appoint the new judge. The judicial vacancy occurred when the previous judge, Stacey Biel, vacated the seat after being elected magistrate judge.

The County Commission could also approve a bid for renovations of the Totah Theater and will discuss a proposed boat launch ramp on the Animas River in Cedar Hill. It will also discuss sending a letter to the Navajo Nation regarding maintenance of the road leading to Chaco Culture National Historical Park.
