Jeff Hazen, Bob Mushen and John Raichl were honored for their service Wednesday night at the Judge Guy Boyington Building in Astoria following their final meeting as Clatsop County commissioners.
Commissioner Patricia Roberts presented each of the three with a plaque and thanked them for their service.
“You’ve done a great job, and the county is better off for it,” Roberts told them.
Hazen, assistant manager for Costco and former Warrenton mayor, was elected to the District 1 seat in 2006 and served the last two years as chair. Former Clatsop County Sheriff John Raichl was appointed to the District 3 seat in 2008 following the voter recall of Commissioner Richard Lee. Bob Mushen, a retired physician, was picked in December 2009 for the vacant District 5 seat formerly held by Ann Samuelson, also recalled.
Hazen thanked county staff and supporters. “It’s been an honor,” he told the audience.
Raichl said he’s enjoyed working with the rest of the board and wished luck to the three incoming commissioners.
Taking the places of the three outgoing board members are Peter Huhtala (District 1), Scott Lee (District 3) and Debra Birkby (Dist. 5). They will be sworn in to office at the board’s Jan. 12 meeting at the Boyington Building.
