The Board of Supervisors passed a resolution Thursday marking the 30th anniversary of being professionally managed by a county administrator. The position was created in 1979.
Only four people have held the position. Edward Gallagher was the first, but served for only about 18 months. F. Glen Erickson held the position for 20 years, retiring in 2001. Ray Wierson, guided the county from 2001 to 2008. Dee Bruemmer is the current administrator.
The administrator has the primary duty of preparing the annual budget and responsible for the development of public policy alternatives and recommendation for consideration by the Board.
Though many Iowa cities have administrators or managers, Scott County is the only one in Iowa with a professional administrator.
