Amelia County Board of Supervisors hires Eric S. Pollard as county administrator
Summary
The Amelia County Board of Supervisors voted to authorize an employment agreement with Eric S. Pollard, naming him county administrator with a planned start date of April 14, 2025; interim administrator Michael Mundy will remain in place until then.
The Amelia County Board of Supervisors voted to authorize the chairman to execute an employment agreement with Eric S. Pollard as county administrator, with a start date of April 14, 2025.
The vote followed a summary of the county's recruitment process by interim administrator Michael Mundy and a motion from Supervisor Robert to authorize the chairman to sign the employment agreement. The board voted by voice; the chairman announced the motion carried.
The board said it hired the Berkeley Group to assist with recruitment, reviewed 15 applicants, narrowed the field to four finalists who visited the county, and held group interviews. The board told residents it considered background screening, credential verification and references before naming Pollard as its top choice.
Mundy, the interim county administrator, praised the board's engagement in the process and said he expects the new administrator to be a strong fit for Amelia County. Pollard spoke briefly after the vote, saying he appreciates the board's confidence and looks forward to working with county staff and the community.
No salary or contract details beyond the start date were read into the record at the meeting; the motion on the floor authorized the chairman to execute the employment agreement as presented. The board recessed for a short photo opportunity with the appointee before continuing the meeting.
The board's action was taken in open session with no recorded roll-call vote in the transcript; the chairman announced simply, "Motion carries."
