Sheila Reiner resigned as Mesa County treasurer and public trustee, effective Sept. 9, in order to serve as the county’s acting finance director, Mesa County announced in a Sept. 3 news release.

Reiner takes over as finance director for Pam Noonan, a longtime Mesa County employee who resigned after seven-and-a-half years in the position.

“It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Mesa County as treasurer and public trustee,” Reiner said. “I have been privileged to work with an outstanding team, and I will miss them greatly. At the same time, I am excited for the opportunity to continue serving Mesa County in a new capacity as acting finance director.”

By policy, Mesa County requires a strict separation of duties between the Treasurer’s Office and the Finance Department, the news release said. In accordance with this structure, Reiner will formally step down from her elected position before assuming the interim finance role.

Mesa County will begin a formal process to select a permanent finance director, the news release said.

Mesa County’s chief deputy treasurer and public trustee, Jackie Campbell, has assumed leadership of the Treasurer’s Office to ensure uninterrupted service to Mesa County residents until the Mesa County Commission appoints a successor who will serve through December 2026, when the current elected term ends.

“We thank Sheila Reiner for her dedicated service to residents and for stepping into this interim role as Mesa County transitions leadership in our finance department,” Mesa County Administrator Todd Hollenbeck said. “Mesa County remains committed to strong financial stewardship and transparent fiscal management, and services to residents will carry on seamlessly.”
