Cutlip, 43, accepted the job for $35,000 a year plus $500 in moving expenses in a late-afternoon telephone call from Supervisor Gary Nelson.
The Board of Supervisors last week had interviewed five of those who applied for the newly budgeted position. They negotiated by telephone Monday with Cutlip and A. Glynn Loope of the Southwest Economic and Development Center in Wise before making their choice.
The calls followed a 17-minute closed session.
Bland County has been using the part-time services of a Mount Rogers Planning District Commission circuit-riding manager, Mike Greer, who also provides such services for small towns in the district. The switch to a full-time county administrator will be July 1.
Cutlip earned an associate degree in accounting in 1968 from Mountain State College, Parkersburg, W.Va., and a bachelor's degree in accounting from Bliss Business College, Columbus, Ohio, in 1969.
He entered the U.S. Army in late 1969 and became controller at Coleman Furniture Corp. in Pulaski after his discharge in 1971. He left that job in late 1982 to become finance director and treasurer in Pulaski.
In other business Monday, the supervisors named Rose Bowen and Tommy Kitts to replace retiring School Board members Donald Pruett and Rex Morehead. The board named Brenda Saunders to the county Social Services Board.
The board also joined the Wythe County Board of Supervisors in formally endorsing the work of a Wythe-Bland Recycling Committee, which also is seeking support from the towns of Wytheville and Rural Retreat. Andy Kegley, a Wythe supervisor, outlined some of the work of the volunteer group in seeking ways to reduce waste and increase recycling.
