Hood River County Commissioners came out of an executive session on Monday and approved two motions associated with their on-going search for a new county administrator.  One was to accept current administrator Jeff Hecksel’s offer to remain in the position through December 8.  Hecksel announced his plans to retire in January, and initially intended to step away from the post in August.  The other motion was to reset the upper annual salary limit in their advertising of the administrator’s position to $197,000.  Commissioners did not elaborate during open session on why they made that move.  When Hecksel was hired seven years ago, the County did take months in their search process, and raised their salary range when they put the vacancy out for a second time.
