SEBRING –– An executive search firm based in Palm Beach County will assist Highlands County commissioners in picking a new county administrator.

Naming a citizens advisory committee will be the next step in the process of replacing county Administrator Carl Cool, who announced in early summer that he will retire on June 30, 2008.
