County appoints interim county attorney and approves 10% interim raise
Summary
With the county attorney retiring, the board appointed Assistant County Attorney Catherine Barbieri as interim county attorney and approved a 10% temporary pay increase for the role.
St. Lucie County commissioners on Aug. 19 appointed Assistant County Attorney Catherine Barbieri as interim county attorney following the announced retirement of the county's current attorney. The board also approved a 10% interim salary increase for the temporary appointment.
County staff said the current county attorney will retire a week from Friday and that by rule the board must appoint an interim publicly so the interim can sign and represent the county until a permanent replacement is selected. A commissioner moved to appoint Barbieri and to provide a 10% interim increase to reflect the additional responsibilities; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Barbieri accepted the interim appointment and will assume the duties of county attorney while the board conducts a public search for a permanent replacement.
Ending: The county attorney search process will proceed; current county staff will continue normal operations with Barbieri serving in the interim role.
