Jill Frisell
Douglas County has a new finance director. At their Tuesday, March 2, regular board meeting, Douglas County commissioners hired Jill Frisell for the role.
By hiring her as the director, that makes the finance office its own department and Frisell the department head.
Frisell has worked for the county for 10 years, starting as a fiscal supervisor in February 2011. In 2016, when central finance was formed, she transitioned into a strategic finance accounting analyst supervisor. After more changes in 2018, Frisell changed positions again and became the assistant auditor/treasurer/finance director.
Frisell said she is looking forward to working on the budget for the county and working with the other departments. Her predecessor, Char Rosenow, she said, was very instrumental in making sure the employees focused on cross-training in the finance department.
