Don't know if its true, but I heard County Administrator Ronnie Bell is retiring. Sorry to see him go, may be difficult in hiring someone from the outside in the current economic climate. Any thoughts?

and gets them done according to the law which seem vague to some commissioners.

From everything I hear he is a great guy. I heard he just found out he had enough years to retire. I imagine all the harping about insurance made the decision alot easier. Very bad for the county government though.

Walton County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday, July 28, to appoint Public Works Division Director Lyle Seigler to Interim County Administrator. Seigler will take over the duties and responsibilities of County Administrator Ronnie Bell, who recently announced his early retirement date of September 30. Commissioners appointed Bell to serve as Deputy County Administrator until his retirement, allowing Bell to take remaining vacation time. Assistant County Administrator Shirl Williams declined an offer to serve as Interim County Administrator.
Seigler has served Walton County as Public Works Division Director since 2006 and previously worked for the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for 15 years. His last position with the FDOT was District Project Development Manager. “I’m appreciative of this appointment by the Board of County Commissioners and am privileged to serve the people and leaders of this community in this special way,” he says.
Seigler will serve as Interim County Administrator until county leaders select a permanent replacement for Ronnie Bell.

I would like to thank Mr. Bell for his services and respectfully request as one of his final duties that he post on this thread or send to wcta a complete list of all walco retirees with complete info on their retirement incomes and benefits. Wait that might be rude. Never mind.

Why would you want such information or even care.

Why would you want such information or even care.Good question. If Busta Hustle wants that information let him seek the public records himself. It doesn't belong on any message board.
If they are retired, they put in their time and are due the compensation promised them and while it may be accessible if you really have a reason to know, it won't be, nor should it be, changed and is really none of your business under normal circumstances.

We have no interest in this issue. Please do not send it to us, we already have a lot on our plate.

Too many people are driven by personal agendas and vendettas and/or jealousy. If they made it to retirement in one piece they should be allowed the peace to enjoy it. There is plenty to do with the ones in office to worry about the past.
