Brazos County Commissioners Court on Sept. 30 adopted Resolution 25‑011 honoring County Auditor Katie Connor for 30 years of service and acknowledging her retirement effective Sept. 30, 2025.
Acting Judge Kyle Cassell and commissioners read a resolution that described Connor’s start in 1995, her role as county auditor and the office’s institutional knowledge. Connor spoke at the podium and recognized the auditor’s office staff by name; commissioners and other officials offered remarks thanking her for leadership during budget transitions and for mentoring new commissioners.
Why it matters: the county auditor oversees financial reporting and internal controls; a planned transition to a new auditor was acknowledged during budget preparations. Commissioners noted that Connor’s successor, Marcy Turner, has already participated in the FY26 budget process.
Details and vote: the court moved, seconded and approved Resolution 25‑011 by voice vote. The resolution as read identified Connor’s 30 years of service, listed long‑tenured auditor’s office staff and carried the signatures of Acting Judge Kyle Cassell and the four precinct commissioners.
Quotes: "They are the best employees that anybody could have," Connor said of the auditor's office, and Acting Judge Kyle Cassell and commissioners individually thanked her for institutional knowledge and service.
Ending: The court and audience recognized Connor with applause and a ceremonial presentation. The resolution will be filed in county records.
