“Since April joined our team over two years ago, she has played a vital role in our day-to-day financial operations and the financial demands of the COVID-19 pandemic response” said Probate Judge Rob Robertson. “She has been a great asset to the County, and the Commission looks forward to her continued service as the next CFO.”

Hoffman will assume the position immediately.

Hoffman will take the place of Lamb, whose 39 years in the position made him the longest serving county finance director/CFO in the County Commission’s history. Lamb leaves big shoes to fill, as he oversaw 34 straight years of cost of living raises for county, along with helping the county recover from a $1.5 million budget deficit.
