HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Exiting Reno County Commissioner Ron Sellers, in his comments on Monday, said he is glad to have been able to serve and was impressed with his fellow commissioners and with the developments that will continue to take Reno County forward.
"Thank you, Chairman Friesen and Commissioner Hirst for the atmosphere that you have given the county the last few years," Sellers said. "While we always didn't agree, which we shouldn't, we always were able to leave the table appreciating the other's view on an issue. I hope the county is better off due to our last four years of effort."
Sellers believes some of the work County Administrator Randy Partington is still in the middle of will really help his successors and the public to know what's going on, if they want to.
"He's presently working on what is called a digital budget book, which will be helpful to all, administration, commissioners and the public at large, due to the fact that this information will be available to anybody on an ongoing basis," Sellers said. "I'm very impressed with the first parts of this, and I think everybody within the county will be very glad when this digital budget book is available."
Sellers also thanked the workers of the county for their service to their fellow citizens and to him.
"I did not know when I started this position, that we were fortunate to have such an excellent management group and great Reno County employees," Sellers said. "The group serves the citizens very well. Many excellent departments and directors."
Sellers particularly highlighted the contributions of the County Clerk's office and of County Administrator's administrative associate, Shonda Arpin.
