(Audubon) A new Assessor is in place in Audubon County.
Janell Bluml takes over for Deb Umland “The County Assessor, Deb Umland, has retired. Her last day was November 30th. On Tuesday afternoon the Assessor’s Conference Board convened and appointed Janell Bluml as the new County Assessor. She started her work December 1st.”
Supervisors Chairman Doug Sorensen says Bluml had been a deputy assessor for several years. “She was ready and excited about taking on the new position. She’s one of only two people in the county that are qualified. You have to be certified in order to take that job. The only two people that were certified are Deb Umland and Janell Bluml. Janell has been there for several year and she was ready and anxious to take the job. She’s excited and we are happy for her. I know she’ll be a great person for that position.”
Sorensen anticipates a new hire to be made to bring the Assessor’s Office up to full staff.
