MOHAVE COUNTY – Mohave County Manager Mike Hendrix drew praise when his retirement-related resignation was approved during Monday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. Hendrix began his service to the county when he was hired in its Public Works Department in May 1984.
“It was with deep regret to receive the letter of resignation from our county manager Michael Hendrix,” said supervisor Gary Watson. “For a number of years he’s done a great job for Mohave County and I want to thank him for his leadership and the great job that he’s done for all these years.”
“We will be sorry to see you go Mike,” agreed Board Chairman Jean Bishop. “We appreciate your years of service and you will be missed.”
Supervisor Hildy Angius noted that Hendrix has nearly three months left on the job, leaving her plenty of time to prepare her thank you remarks to deliver when his retirement nears.
The Board also approved a recruitment campaign outlined by the Human Resources Department. That includes materials inviting application to fill the position and posting the opening in a number of professional associations at the state and local level.
