HAMILTON - A former county commissioner, children services directors in other counties, a minister who works at Panera, an accountant, a prison social worker and others with backgrounds in social services want to be the next children services director in Butler County.

Fourteen people applied for the job by Sunday's deadline. County commissioners hope to have the position filled by Aug. 1. They are expected to discuss how to proceed, at Thursday's regular meeting, probably in closed session, Commissioner Greg Jolivette said.

"We possibly will boil it down to three, four or five (candidates). There's quite a disparity between some of them, so that would eliminate them right away," he said.

Commissioners began a search for a new executive director after dismantling the independent children services board in May in the aftermath of 3-year-old Marcus Fiesel's death in foster care.

The developmentally delayed Middletown boy was bound and left in a closet while his foster parents, Liz and David Carroll Jr., left for two days in August to attend a family reunion in Kentucky. The Carrolls are serving life sentences for murder.

The fallout also sparked the termination of Executive Director Jann Heffner, who made $125,000 a year. Commissioners then merged the agency with the county Department of Family Services.

Candidates competing to replace Heffner are:

Betty Kirk, of Franklin, senior audit manager for the Ohio Auditor's Office since 1991; certified public accountant with master's degrees in accountancy, social and applied economics and a bachelor's degree in sociology.
