Dan Polivka will serve as president of the Trumbull County Board of Commissioners for 2011.

He was appointed president at the commissioners’ reorganization meeting Monday. President of the board is authorized to act on behalf of the other commissioners on a variety of matters.

Polivka has been a Trumbull County commissioner since 2004, when the Trumbull County Democratic Party appointed him to fill the remaining term of Michael O’Brien, when O’Brien stepped down to become Warren’s mayor.

Polivka was elected to his first four-year term as commissioner in November 2004 and was re-elected in 2008. He is chairman of the county Democratic Party and was a Warren councilman 19 years.
