Lavaca County auditor of 17 years announces departure amid outside audit
Summary
The presiding official announced Jan. 12 that the county’s long-serving auditor (17 years) has decided to leave; outside auditors were in the courthouse the prior week and the auditor told the court she does not consider the move a retirement but plans to pursue other interests.
The presiding official told the Lavaca County Commissioners Court on Jan. 12 that the county’s longtime auditor — who has served for 17 years — informed the county she would be leaving. The official said outside auditors conducted an audit the prior Wednesday through Friday and that the departing auditor described her decision as pursuing other interests rather than retiring.
"She says she's not retiring. She says she's gonna do other things, but she didn't want to call it retirement," the presiding official said during announcements. The presiding official also praised the auditor’s years of service: "She's been the glue that's kept this county together...we have great finances, because of her leadership."
The meeting transcript does not record a replacement or a timeline for hiring a new county auditor. The court offered well-wishes for the auditor's future endeavors. No formal personnel action or transition plan was recorded in the available meeting excerpt.
