"For me, it has been a great privilege being a commissioner," said McCallister. "I hope to continue the work of keeping the county in the black and see that basic services are provided."

The new term ends in 2012.

He was reappointed as the president of the commission at yesterday's meeting.

He is currently on the Board of Directors of the WV County Commissioners Association.
