Big changes in county leadership

Two important county leaders are leaving their positions.

Robert Davis is retiring after working for the county for 35 years. He has been County Administrator for 13 years. He oversees the 2,105-employeee organization. The Board of Commissioners (BCC) adopted a new contract with him so that he can continue in the role as county administrator over the next seven months in a retired status. The move comes as changes to the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) are anticipated to take effect over the next 12 months stemming from legislative changes. The BCC is in the beginning stages of planning a national search for a new county administrator.

Erin Calvert was named as the new Deputy County Administrator in May. She previously served at the Washington County Juvenile Department for over 24 years in various positions including juvenile counselor, and has managed several different divisions and specialty teams within the Department. For the last twelve years she has been the Juvenile Services Division Manager.

Andrew Singelakis has been the director of Land Use and Transportation (LUT) for the last nine years and has left for a job as the Director of Transportation for the City of Bellevue, Washington. A search is underway for his replacement. He has been instrumental in providing services to the large urban unincorporated areas of the county, and we are hopeful that his replacement will further that progress. The nationwide search is currently underway.

Because our CPOs are critically affected by LUT actions, members of the countywide CPO system are invited to submit questions and concerns to consider when hiring a replacement. If you have suggestions, email vrb@teamweb.com and we’ll share them.
