Miami County to hire county administrator this year
The Miami County Commission unanimously voted to begin a search for a county administrator to replace routine tasks with professional management. The administrator would oversee non elected staff, merit pay, budgeting, purchasing, grant writing, and general administration, with a start possible in January 1993 and an estimated salary range of 30,000 to 90,000 plus office expenses and a secretary. The move aims to increase efficiency and keep policy making with the commissioners.
