Albany County appoints Michelle Treving as interim clerk of district court

After interviewing three internal candidates for Clerk of District Court, the Albany County Board of Commissioners convened in executive session and on return approved Resolution 2026‑019 to appoint Michelle Treving as the county’s Clerk of District Court until a successor is elected.

The board conducted three interviews during the July 21 meeting. Dwayne Streeter, a 16‑year deputy clerk, described his priorities as staff training, continuity and learning the office’s budgeting process. Michelle Treving, who asked to continue in the position temporarily to ensure an uninterrupted transition, emphasized preserving existing processes and training deputy staff. Nicole Trampy, a long‑time county employee with supervisory experience in the sheriff’s office and current duties in the clerk’s office, said she would aim to maintain the office’s standards and support continuity.

Following deliberation in executive session, a commissioner moved to approve a resolution appointing Michelle Treving as Clerk of District Court until a successor is elected at the next general election; the motion passed. The resolution directs the county to execute the appointment and prepare any transition documents needed for the incoming elected clerk.

What’s next: The board asked staff to formalize the appointment paperwork and continue training plans so the office is prepared for the upcoming election and any administrative transitions.
