Last candidate interviewed

The last of the interviews have been conducted with candidates to work as Oconee County’s first-in house attorney.  Scott Moulder, county administrator, confirmed he conducted the interview yesterday—which marked the fifth or sixth interview of those who are considered to be finalists for the job.  Moulder says he is going to make a recommendation to the County Council before hiring the individual who he feels is best suited.  The county now uses the service of an out-of-county law firm, but the council wants to cuts its legal costs and maintain a relationship with the McNair law firm to provide help and assistance with complex legal matters.  The in-house attorney sought by the county would keep an office in the Pine Street office complex and be available to the county administrator for day-to-day legal matters and questions.
