Overall, Martinovich and her staff work to instill public trust and ensure the financial integrity of the County – which has a $716.6 million budget – by safeguarding funds and promoting prudent use of resources.
“Mina has been an important member of our administrative team for the past 11 years,” said County Administrator Matthew Hymel. “We feel fortunate to have someone with her skills and abilities to lead our Finance department going forward.”
