After one county employee interviewed last week for the position, Danielle Yarbrough was retained as county clerk by the board of commissioners in an unanimous vote following an executive session. District 2 Commissioner Chris Gaines motioned to continue utilizing Yarbrough as county clerk and District 3 Commissioner Jimmy Hamby seconded the motion. The board voted April 20 to increase the annual compensation for the county clerk position, which prior to 2012 was a full time job that paid $39,000.
