Citrus County has a new administrator at the helm.

Randy Oliver has only been on the job a few weeks, and his plate is already full.

Since Oliver started his new job at the beginning of January, he hasn't had much time to slow down.

"It's a wonderful opportunity and it's a wonderful time," he said.

Oliver is a certified public accountant and an engineer. He has plenty of experience under his belt. Twenty years of running counties, cities and more all over the nation.

"I like to make things better, make things work for the people we serve," he said.

When Oliver isn't getting caught up on paperwork, he's gearing up for some hot-button, county issues that need to be tackled soon. Things like the future of the animal shelter, road resurfacing and the fire tax that upset some people last year when it was passed.

County commissioner Scott Carnahan said Randy Oliver is the right man for the job.

"100 percent glad we have him here," Carnahan said.

Oliver believes tax payer money is sacred and wasting it is not an option. It's a philosophy he plans to continue to follow here in Citrus.

"I'm looking forward to getting things done and making sure we provide the services the citizens want and are willing to pay for," he said.

The last county administrator job Oliver had before Citrus was up in the Panhandle in Escambia County.
