The Del Norte County Board of Supervisors meeting held on Tuesday, September 10th, started with an air of joy. At the beginning of the meeting, after standard opening procedures, the Board honored Mike Peeples for his 25 years of service as a County Employee. District 5 Supervisor Dean Wilson read out the resolution:
“Mike began his career with Del Norte County on February 2, 1999, when he was appointed as a Correctional Officer Recruit by the Sheriff’s Office. His dedication and commitment were evident early on as he took on the roles of Deputy Sheriff I and Correctional Clerk before making a career transition to the Community Development Department on June 26, 2001, as an Engineering Technician Trainee[.]”
