July 12, 2025 - 02:44
Jul. 11—In a decisive move, the Freeborn County Board of Commissioners unanimously appointed County Finance Manager Patrick Paquin as the interim auditor-treasurer during an emergency meeting held on Friday. This decision follows the recent resignation of Auditor-Treasurer Kelly Hendrickson, who stepped down earlier in the week.
The board's vote, which resulted in a 4-0 outcome, underscores the urgency of the situation, with Commissioner Nicole Eckstrom not present for the meeting. County Administrator Melanie Aeschliman expressed her gratitude for Paquin's willingness to step into the role during this transitional period.
Paquin's extensive experience in finance management is expected to provide stability as the county navigates the responsibilities of the auditor-treasurer position. The board's swift action reflects their commitment to maintaining continuity in county operations and ensuring that financial matters are handled effectively during this interim period. The community will be watching closely as Paquin takes on this crucial role.
