For Immediate Release
“After decades of public service, at the local, state and county level, my personal priorities have changed, and it is time for me to step away from a full-time role. Today, I am announcing my retirement from Ottawa County effective December 31, 2023,” said Amanda Price, Ottawa County Treasurer.
Price was appointed Ottawa County Treasurer in January 2019 and elected in 2020. Prior to her appointment she served as a State Representative for the 89th District (at the time the western portion of Ottawa County). Price has also served as a legislative aide in the Michigan Senate to Senator Patty Birkholz and Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof. Price began her public service as a Park Township Planning Commissioner, moving to Township Trustee and Supervisor.
“I want to thank my staff in the Treasurer’s office for their support and professionalism. They truly are dedicated stewards of the financial resources of Ottawa County residents carrying out their responsibilities with excellence and compassion for our citizens,” said Price.
“I was privileged to be appointed and elected to serve alongside a group of exemplary county-wide elected officials in Prosecutor Lee Fisher, Sheriff Steve Kempker, Clerk/Register Justin Roebuck and Water Resources Commissioner Joe Bush. They are individuals with the highest integrity, devotion to public service and excellence in all they do. I count it as an honor to know them and serve with them,” said Price.
The Ottawa County Treasurer’s office accounts for county revenue, invests County funds, administers the delinquent tax process and licenses dogs in Ottawa County. The Treasurer serves on the County Building Authority, Insurance Authority, Plat Board, Elections Commission, Brownfield Authority, Apportionment Commission, Tax Allocation Board and chairs the Land Bank Authority. In addition to these roles, Price also serves on the Michigan Association of County Treasurers Board of Directors, the Community Action Agency Board, and the Historic Ottawa Beach Society Board.
With Price’s announcement, a committee consisting of the Clerk, Probate Judge and Prosecutor will interview and appoint her replacement.
