Summary
A county property assessor announced he will retire in June and offered to help transition his successor and be involved in the next budget process.
During the Feb. 24 meeting of the Hickman County Board of Commissioners, a county property assessor addressed the board to announce his retirement. He said personal reasons prompted the decision and that his last month in the office will be June. He offered to work with a successor and advised that, if possible, the incoming assessor should be involved in the budget process because it will affect the successor’s first budget.
The chair and several commissioners responded with thanks and expressions that the assessor will be missed. The chair paused the meeting for a five-minute recess shortly after the announcement.
The assessor asked the board to take the retirement notice into account when considering potential replacements, and to allow overlap so the successor could participate in the county’s budget process for the coming fiscal year.
