With an employee moving on to other pursuits we advertised
to fill the position of Finance Specialist.
Replacing any employee takes time, generally about 3 months at a minimum. The process of advertising, interviewing and
transition from a previous employer to a new one each has its place and time
lines. We have recently gone the course
and have a new employee as the Finance Specialist.
Kari Jacobson was hired to fill that position. She comes to us with a wealth of
experience. She was the Clerk Treasurer
for Kiester, MN for 11 years and worked for the city of Hermantown, MN as an
accountant. Recently she was the Clerk
Treasurer of Hayward, MN while also owning and operating a liquor store. She has an accounting degree and has spent the
majority of her career dealing with numbers.
Her background includes payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable,
general ledger, and utility billing.
She has big shoes to fill but we feel she is more than
capable of filling them and then some.
She has friends and relatives in the area. She has always wanted to live in this area.
She is excited to be in Breezy Point. We are very pleased to welcome her to city
hall.
