Typically county board meetings are “business as usual” type affairs in which the commissioners discuss contracts, ordinances and budgets. The June 24 meeting was anything but typical.
In an emotional meeting that brought several to tears, the county said goodbye to four of its longest-tenured employees – Building Maintenance Supervisor Al Buskey, Deputy Assessor Randy DesMarais, Information Technology Director Bill Swing and Veterans Services Director Genell Reese.
Between them, the four employees combined to provide the county with 135 years of service, making their collective retirements a significant loss to the county.
“This day is really unprecedented,” Commissioner Pat Sawatzke said.
