REED CITY â After 26 years with the county, Osceola County Coordinator Susan VanderPol will no longer serve in that capacity after the board of commissioners voted to not extend/renew her current contract.
Osceola County Board of Commissioners Chairman Mark Gregory said Wednesday the board voted during its meeting Tuesday not to extend VanderPol s contract and instead will let it expire on Sept. 15. He said after 26 years with the county, the board felt it was time for a change. Performance was not an issue and we appreciate the years Susan (VanderPol) has dedicated to Osceola County, he said.
Gregory also said COVID-19 and the ability for county employees to work remotely, issues revolving around the termination of the former Osceola County Commission on Aging Director Scott Schryer and the lawsuit brought against the county didn t play a role in the board s decision regarding VanderPol s contract extension.
