 Board hires Jan Lesher as County Administrator
The Board of Supervisors appointed Jan Lesher as County Administrator April 5. She takes over from Chuck Huckelberry, who had been County Administrator since 1993. Lesher has been serving as Acting County Administrator since October, when Huckelberry was badly injured in a bicycling accident.
She is the first woman to be appointed County Administrator since the Board created the position in 1971. (Jane Verner served as interim County Administrator for eight months in 1989.)
The Board also accepted Huckelberry's resignation at the meeting. See the County's tribute page to Huckelberry for more on his service and tenure.
