Jackson County Fires Its Engineer

Jackson County’s longtime engineer has been fired following ongoing disputes with the Board of Supervisors. Supervisors voted unanimously to not renew the employment contract for Clark Schloz. Schloz has worked as Jackson County engineer for 26 years. His last day will be June 30th. Supervisor Jack Willey said Schloz was fired for a variety of issues that Willey and other supervisors have raised. Schloz, however, said he disagrees with the supervisors’ reasons. Willey said the incident that prompted Schloz’s firing revolves around the county’s attempts to hire an assistant engineer.
