Manitowoc County executive honored with retirement proclamation after decades of service
Summary
The Manitowoc County Board honored County Executive Robert F. Ziggleower with a retirement proclamation recognizing roughly 20 years as county executive and earlier service in the State Assembly; Ziggleower reflected on accomplishments and thanked staff and colleagues.
The Manitowoc County Board on its March meeting honored County Executive Robert F. Ziggleower with a retirement proclamation recognizing decades of public service at the county and state levels.
The board, led by Chair Tyler Martell, read a proclamation that chronicled Ziggleower’s long record — noting service as a county supervisor beginning in 1982, a term in the Wisconsin State Assembly, and roughly 20 years as county executive. The proclamation credited Ziggleower with infrastructure projects, expansions in human services, courthouse improvements, and a transportation funding strategy while noting his role in selling the county’s health care center to help eliminate a $2 million annual shortfall.
Ziggleower responded by thanking county employees, department heads and supervisors, and reflecting on the work done during his tenure. “How fast 20 years goes. It's been an honor to serve the people of Manitowoc County as your county executive,” he said, adding that credit belonged to staff and colleagues.
The proclamation included a wish for Ziggleower’s retirement and noted that his term ends April 20. The board also used the occasion to present proclamations honoring multiple outgoing supervisors and to encourage ongoing engagement with county business as terms conclude.
No formal action altering county policy or administration accompanied the proclamation; it was a ceremonial recognition of service. The board proceeded with its regular agenda after the presentations.
