In a turnaround from two weeks earlier, the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners chose Clay Murphy as chair on Dec. 2.
Murphy unseated Commissioner Krista Joseph, District 4, who was elected Nov. 20 to a second one-year term during a special meeting of the board.
The board voted Dec. 2 to appoint Murphy, District 3, at the conclusion of its regular meeting during Murphy’s commissioner report.
