With the deadline to submit a budget breathing down its neck, the Pike County Fiscal Court took action today to appoint a new treasurer after longtime treasurer John DeBilder resigned this week. Longtime Pike County Treasurer John DeBilder tendered her resignation Tuesday. It came less than three weeks from when the county is required to submit its budget for the next fiscal year. Emotion to accept the resignation of John DeBilder as county to create a treasurer. At Wednesday's special meeting of the Pike Fiscal Court, Finance Commissioner Frankie Stacey, a 17-year Pike County employee, was appointed as the county's new treasurer. I'd just like to thank the court and you judge for the opportunity and I appreciate it. I wouldn't have took it on if I didn't think I could do it. Like I said before I signed on to it, we made sure that the department of local government is going to sign off for a new budget. Billider's resignation left the county scrambling. Billider, a more than 30-year county employee, had been under fire recently for unreconsiled finances and other issues that she attributed to personal problems that ultimately affected her work. Deputy Judge Executive Herbie Deskins said Billider originally filed this week for two weeks medical leave with the notice of intent to retire at the end of the month. It was a crisis day yesterday. We found that John DeBilder had gone on sick leave and it left us without a treasurer and there's nothing in the statutes that allows you to have two treasurers or a debited treasurer. There's nothing there. Billider's choice to go ahead and resign Tuesday cleared the way for Stacey to now see the county through reconciling some of the county's finances in order to pass a budget for the upcoming year. She voluntarily came in and resigned in order to help us to work out the problem that much of it had been caused by her but not all of it and we're not going to throw anybody under the bus after 30 plus years of very good service. There's also hope that another major issue will be addressed. Earlier this spring the county's bond rating under Billider's watch was drastically lowered thanks in part Deskins said to an unfinished audit of the county's 2017 finances. Deskins said he's confident the bond rating will be increased back to BB's status by the end of the year under Stacey's watch. The future is what looks bright, Pike County. I think in the time period, the time frames that we've got to do it, that we can get it done. Like you said, we're going to recruit some outside help to reconcile last fiscal year while we're doing this fiscal year and then hopefully it'll all come and then we can just go forward from there. The plan was promoted to the position of finance commissioner for Pike County. John DeBilder's resignation was effective Tuesday. Stacey's tenure as treasurer began during Wednesday's meeting.
