Commission appoints Treasurer Eric Hoiland as county Chief Financial Officer
Summary
After a prolonged recruitment for a CPA candidate, CEO Bill Everett recommended Treasurer Eric Hoiland, citing his accounting degree and long service; the commission approved the appointment 5–0.
CEO Bill Everett recommended naming Eric Hoiland, the county treasurer, as the county's Chief Financial Officer following a year-long, unsuccessful national search for a CPA candidate. Everett highlighted Hoiland's 20 years as treasurer, familiarity with the county's accounting system, a University of Montana accounting degree, and local institutional knowledge as reasons for the appointment.
"Eric has been the treasurer here for twenty years...Eric has a degree from the University of Montana in accounting," Everett said, recommending the commission approve Hoiland's appointment. Commissioners approved the appointment unanimously and planned a transition period during which outgoing staff would assist with onboarding.
