SEBRING –– An executive search firm based in Palm Beach County will assist Highlands County commissioners in picking a new county administrator. After interviewing three firms on Tuesday, the commissioners hired Colin Baenziger & Associates for the job. Naming a citizens advisory committee will be the next step in the process of replacing county Administrator Carl Cool, who announced in early summer that he will retire on June 30, 2008.

Edgar Stokes, chairman of the county commissioners, said he expects that a citizens advisory committee will be appointed by mid-January.
