NATCHEZ, Miss. – Applicants wanting to be Adams County’s next administrator have until July 24 to submit their resumes for county supervisors to review in deciding who to appoint.
Long-serving County Administrator Joe Murray is retiring in a couple of months after running Adams County government’s day-to-day operations the past 10 years.
The Board of Supervisors on Monday set the qualifications, duties and salary range for prospects to see in various job postings for a position that’s to pay $70,000 to $90,000 a year.
Supervisors noted they want someone with sufficient experience to perform multifaceted duties in managing a $30 million annual budget and about 230 county employees under the governance of the five-member county Board of Supervisors.
After receiving resumes from applicants, the supervisors will decide who to interview before deciding who to appoint. Murray is expected to stay on through September to prepare the new budget for the fiscal year that starts in October.
Murray was hired by the board as county administrator in 2010, left briefly and returned in 2011. He turns 54 this year and is retiring after 30 years in government. He previously worked for the state Department of Revenue.
