For your leadership in resolving the IRS fines mishap, thus, saving the county perhaps $1million in net final IRS fines. Bringing in outside experts to handle the IRS fine issue was the missing link between not paying and paying $1million dollars to the IRS.
For your guidance ensuring the courthouse remodel/transition went as smoothly as possible.
For bringing calm and professionalism to a very unsteady government that had experienced massive turnover in its key positions.
For directing the county’s first effective and proper administrator search in years. The county’s failures over the last four years to conduct constructive administrator searches resulted in producing 7 (including interims) different heads of county government since 2021. That unsettling direction manifested an unstable and short-term oriented government team and very little forward county progress. Your professional search process should produce many positive long-term results with what appears to be an excellent hire for the most important job in the county.
Thank you and we wish you well.
Randy Bright, Ridgeway
