KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — The lame duck Kalamazoo County Board has voted 8-3 to promote Finance Director Tracie Moored to become administrator and comptroller of Kalamazoo County, after two failed national searches and two years with interim leadership.
As we reported earlier this month, they were ready to hire Moored to be their chief executive officer on the spot, but at her insistence, they voted to hold this week’s special meeting to do a proper interview.
Still, three commissioners felt they were moving too fast and voted no.
A one year contract will be negotiated and should be back back to the board for final approval before the new commission takes over Jan. 1.
