(Sarpy County, NE) Seven candidates to serve as the new Sarpy County Treasurer will be interviewed over the next two weeks.
The Sarpy County Board of Commissioners says they will interview the applicants on May 10th and May 18th. The Board says they will interview four candidates on May 10th and three candidates on May 18th. The interviews will start at 9 a.m. both days in the Sarpy County Courthouse and are open to the public. Each interview will last approximately 30 minutes.
Following the interviews, the Board will appoint a new Treasurer, who will serve until January 2023. Former Treasurer Brian Zuger was removed from office in April after his office overpaid or underpaid $12 million in public funds to different school districts; and failed to properly disperse a percentage of revenue paid to the county from OPPD, which the utility pays in lieu of property taxes.

(Sarpy County, NE) Sarpy County is considering removing the County Treasurer from office.
Last week, the Sarpy County Board of Commissioners asked Sarpy County Treasurer Brian Zuger to resign from office. The county says the request came from Board Chairman Don Kelly after the Board reviewed a draft report of the Nebraska Auditor of Public Accounts’ attestation of the Treasurer’s Office. The county says Zuger declined to resign.
The county says the Board will now consider a resolution at Tuesday’s Board meeting to initiate legal proceedings to remove the Treasurer from office. “We are deeply concerned about the State Auditor s findings, and our primary objective is to ensure Sarpy County is a good steward of the taxpayers’ money,” Kelly said.
