SYCAMORE – The originally scheduled date of Aug. 15 for the DeKalb County Board to vote on a new county administrator to replace the retiring Ray Bockman could be changed.

DeKalb County Board members spent about eight hours interviewing four finalists for the county administrator position Monday, but uncertainty remained on when a final decision will be made. Bockman is scheduled to retire at the end of September.

The initial timeline called for interviews to take place in June, negotiations in July and a vote in August, but interviews had been delayed until Monday. DeKalb County Board Chairman Larry Anderson, R-Malta, and Vice Chairwoman Ruth Anne Tobias, D-DeKalb, would not comment on when a hire might be made.
