Scholl,District 3 Holly Merrill Raschein,District 5 Twenty years ago, what was intended to be a temporary position became the beginning of an extraordinary career of public service to Monroe County. Starting as a Construction Project Manager in 2006, Kevin rose through the organization to serve as Director of Public Works, Public Works Division Director, and for the past eleven years, Assistant County Administrator. As a highly skilled engineer, he has been a trusted resource for solving some of the County's most complex challenges. Despite his expertise, he is known for humbly prefacing his advice by referring to himself as "a dumb, fat, engineer"—usually just before offering the exact guidance needed to move a project, problem, or decision in the right direction. His technical knowledge, practical approach, and steady leadership have earned the respect of colleagues, County Commissioners, community members, and regulatory agencies throughout the County. While his accomplishments are many, Kevin's greatest contribution has been his commitment to people. He is a mentor, a trusted advisor, and a leader who genuinely values employees and goes out of his way to ensure they feel appreciated and supported. His relationships throughout Monroe County are unmatched, and his ability to connect people, solve problems, and bring teams together has made a lasting impact on our organization. Congratulations on 20 years of dedicated service, leadership, mentorship, and friendship. Monroe County is stronger because of your commitment, and we are grateful for all you have done and continue to do.
