Finance director remains on leave

County finance director Cathy Hartesvelt remains on paid leave following her suspension by county administrator Jim Dyer, Jan. 9.

Dyer had expected to present the findings of his investigation during Tuesday’s monthly meeting, after a 4:30 p.m. meeting with Hartesvelt. This took place just two hours prior to the 6:30 p.m. starting time.

But nothing came of it. Instead, two commissioners — District 3 commissioner Will Bunek and District 5 commissioners Alan Campbell — made details of the ongoing battle between Hartesvelt and county administrator Jim Dyer.
