From The Rockingham County Manager I have been working for some time to strengthen the organization of county operations to improve efficiency and effectiveness. To this end I am making the following changes. Effective February 1, 2010, Adam Lindsay, Performance and Budget Manager, will become Director of Administration. In addition to his current responsibilities with Budget and Performance Management. Central Services, and Purchasing, Adam will assume administrative responsibility for the Criminal Justice Day Reporting Program. Public Information Services and the new Animal Shelter. Effective February 1, 2010, Tom Wiggins, Planning Director, will become Director of Operations. In addition to his current responsibilities with Planning, Inspections and Code Enforcement. Tom will assume responsibility for the operations of Engineering and Environmental Services. Facilities, Water and Sewer Services, Landfill Maintenance and Cooperative Extension. This realignment of personnel and functions will better position our organization to more effectively and efficiently meet the leadership, operational and service needs we face now and in the near future.
