The Position of Assistant County Administrator was approved in the classification plan and in the current year budget.  The position was advertised and the County Administrator interviewed four candidates and selected Justin Smith based on the interviews and identification of key skill areas.  References have been checked and were positive without hesitation. The position will be utilized to assist the County Administrator in completing key tasks and managing key projects and initiatives to completion, freeing up time for the County Administrator to move additional items that are future looking and consistent with Board priorities.
