I have been working for the Commissioners’ Office for around seven years now and have worked under six different commissioners. This position is challenging and rewarding. I work directly with almost every office in the County to help them get agreements, contracts and correspondence processed and presented to the commissioners for approval.  

We hold Commissioners’ Administrative Public Meetings at 10 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday to dive deep into these contracts and agreements that keep the County flowing. These can be a standard employment agreement to a multi-million-dollar construction project. I make sure the paperwork is formatted and complete before the meeting and then after the meeting I process it to get signatures, record the documents, if needed, and return it back to staff to move forward. During these meetings I take the minutes and add them into the commissioners’ journals that are legally required to be kept for documentation and posterity purposes. We have recorded commissioners’ journals going back to 1865. I also pay all the incoming invoices and bills for the Commissioners’ Office.  

I enjoy working directly with the public to make sure their questions and concerns are addressed. Working for the commissioners is always busy and interesting, as they are so active and working on so many projects at any given time.  My favorite thing about this position is that I get to work with so many different offices within the County, and we all work as one team to help each other and make sure we succeed.
