The city of Cave Junction will have a new recorder/treasurer after the current position holder, Jim Polk, retires in August.
On Friday, July 9, during an Illinois Valley Chamber of Commerce mixer at the Chateau at Oregon Caves National Monument, Mayor Don Moore announced that Illinois Valley resident Ryan Nolan has been selected for the job.
“The competition was tough,“ Moore said, indicating that his selection committee had done an excellent job of narrowing the field from 30-some applicants to four, whom he then interviewed.
Nolan, born and raised in Illinois Valley, is a 1997 graduate of Illinois Valley High School. He holds a bachelor of science degree in political science from Western Oregon University at Monmouth, and a master of arts degree in teaching from Southern Oregon University at Ashland.
Moore said that the new hire, through his involvement in a number of community organizations, demonstrates a civic-minded attitude that the mayor feels is important.
Nolan has been working as a substitute teacher at Illinois Valley High School where he also is involved with FFA.
“He“s absolutely the best person I could have gotten for this job,“ Moore said. “It“s important that whoever takes this job be around for a long time.“
Polk has been the city“s recorder and treasurer for 17 years. Nolan began training on Monday, July 12.
