The Greene County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 21 appointed Denise Percival to serve as acting county treasurer effective Sept. 1, 2025, after the treasurer‑elect informed the county he would not begin that term.
Why it matters: The treasurer is a county executive office responsible for custody of county funds; an interim appointment ensures continuity of operations until the political party central committee chooses a successor.
Details and process: County staff said Craig Hegler was elected in November to a term beginning Sept. 1 but notified officials he has "no intention to begin that term," creating a vacancy effective Sept. 1. The commissioners appointed Denise Percival to serve as acting treasurer from Sept. 1 until the officeholder named by the Greene County Republican Central Committee qualifies and takes office. Staff told the board the central committee cannot act for five days following the vacancy but must act within 45 days; the committee has scheduled a meeting for Sept. 8.
Formal action: A motion to appoint Percival as acting treasurer was seconded and approved by the board.
What was not decided: The transcript records no discussion of compensation changes or administrative reorganization tied to the appointment; the central committee's final selection and qualification remain pending.
