Solano hires Resource Management veteran to lead agency
FAIRFIELD Terry Schmidtbauer began his career in Solano County as an environmental health supervisor, hired in 1999 to help develop an on-site sewage disposal ordinance.
The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday promoted him to director of the Department of Resource Management, about six months after being named interim director when Bill Emlen was named as an assistant county administrator.
Schmidtbauer, 59, was promoted to Environmental Health manager in 2004 and to assistant director of the department in 2014.
The county did not provide Schmidtbauer’s precise salary when requested by the Daily Republic. It did report the salary range for the position as $176,616 to $214,680 annually. Emlen was paid $208,436 as director of the Department of Resource Management at the time of his promotion.
