Tammy Jarret Recognized for Ten Years of Service to the County

Announcements, Community
We would like to take a moment to spotlight some of our employees who were recognized at last night’s Board of Commissioners meeting. First was Ms. Tammy Jarret of the Tax Assessor’s office who was recognized for 10 years of service to the county. Following her, Mrs. Stephanie Gooch was given a tearful word of appreciation from Chief Tax Assessor Roy Dobbs for her 30 years with his office.
Also recognized last night were recycling attendants Brad Benson and Peyton Couch. The Board recognized them for “selfless, outstanding service” while rendering aid to a person during a tragic medical emergency at the Recycling Center. We thank all of these employees, not only for their faithful work ethic but also for their dedication to each of our citizens!
