Anderson Selected As Assistant Escambia Administrator
March 23, 2009
Cindy Anderson, former executive director of Team Santa Rosa, will be the new Escambia County deputy administrator.
Anderson tendered her resignation late Friday to Team Santa Rosa, an economic development council that promotes Santa Rosa County. She told NorthEscambia.com that she has tentatively accepted the position of deputy administrator and economic development coordinator for Escambia County — a position that pays $120,000 a year.
“I am tickled to death,” Anderson said. “I am really excited about it.”
Anderson also serves as director of Panhandle Fresh, a marketing cooperative that assists agricultural interests with marketing their products to retailers. She plans to keep that position, and she said he has discussed that decision with Escambia Administrator Bob McLaughlin.
“Agriculture is a part of economic development, and my job with Escambia will involved economic development,” Anderson said. “It’s the perfect match.”
Anderson’s position with Escambia County will not be official until McLaughlin offically recommends her and until after she is approved by the full county commission. Anderson said she expects the position to be on the April 2 commission agenda.
Anderson served as county engineer for Escambia County for nine years prior to joining Team Santa Rosa. She holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the University of Oklahoma.

Watch how your commissioner handles this case. This may be the straw which breaks the camel’s back.
McLaughlin was fired from the County once and Anderson hired him back to work for her. Could this be payback? Is Anderson and her TEAM in trouble in Santa Rosa?
SELECTED? Who were the other applicants? Where was this job advertised? Isn’t she under investigation (Sunshine Violations) for just about everything she’s done in SRC that last few years? $120K for a job that was deemed not necessary just last year to cut the budget? Where is the money going to come from to pay her? Isn’t there a job freeze? Didn’t they just try to early retire a bunch of employees for Millions? If this doesn’t stink of a buddy (GOB) deal, then I just haven’t been living in Escambia County long enough! lol
