Camp Says Process Underway To Find Financial Administrator

Beaver County Commissioners chairman Dan Camp said a consultant will be hired within a short time span to replace the fired financial administrator Ricardo Luckow.

Commissioners met in executive session following yesterday’s regular work session but came up with no public details.

Camp says as of now, it is not determined by the commissioners if a full time financial administrator will be hired. That determination will be made after commissioners have a consultant in tow. If a full time administrator is hired, the search process will be extensive.
