Pueblo County Department of Human Services has a new interim director following the resignation of former director Tim Hart.
Hart, who began his career at Pueblo County DHS in July 1998 and served as its director from April 2013 through his resignation May 19, has been replaced by interim director Tammy Torres, who will lead the department’s efforts while the county searches for Hart’s successor.
In his resignation letter, sent to commissioners May 17, Hart said he provided the county notice of his intent to retire on April 1, 2021, with a retirement date effective Aug. 1, to allow the county to plan for his succession and “end my 23-year career in a positive manner.”
