Jumping Ship

Jamie Clary's City Hall is losing trusted hands fast. After a delayed audit of city finances, Finance Director and long-time city employee Ron Minnicks announced he's leaving city government.

The Hendersonville Standard has more:

City Finance Director Ron Minnicks said his department has been plagued by turnover and is short-staffed. Assistant Finance Director Dana Swinea left last March for a finance director position in Mt. Juliet. Swinea’s successor, Michelle Jilek, held the position for four months before returning to the City of Gallatin in September.

“In 46 years I’ve been here I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve had two assistants leave me at critical times,” said Minnicks.
