A longtime department head for Rock Island County is leaving. Circuit Clerk Lisa Bierman will retire at the end of the month.
After working for 33 years in the office, including the last 16 as circuit clerk, she's decided to take advantage of the county's early retirement incentive offer to employees.
Bierman says she's been thinking about retirement for about 6 months.
The circuit clerk's office has a staff of 40, and she's been working hard in recent weeks to replace other employees of the office who've decided to take early retirement.
On Thursday, the Rock Island County board's human resources committee will consider a resolution appointing the current chief deputy, Tammy Weikert, to be circuit clerk. If approved, it will go to the full county board on Tuesday.
