Bart helped me get my foot in the door for full-time IT work. I don’t blame him at all for leaving the county. Thank you for all that you’ve done for me and for this county Bart!
Bart’s the best Director the BCC IT department has ever had. He is a tireless worker. IT is going to miss him, greatly. If only the board could actually understand that.
One of the nicest person I ever worked with. He helped me get into IT and I have now a nice paying job thanks to him. His office was always open when I needed advice. Their loss for sure.
I would be suspicious of Bart’s letter of resignation. I’m sure he chose his words very carefully in his letter. Needs investigating.
I worked around Bart for many years. I’ve got nothing but respect for him.
People are awesome. There isn’t a person that knows this guy personally that would say he wasn’t competent, open and to the point. If he cleaned out the office then the office needed to be cleaned out and they need not reapply. He stood for something and it dang sure wasn’t for waste or laziness.
Hopefully they begged him to stay — he was good for the county and this community. He would fight for your dollar not to be wasted. As for hiring his friends — that is a misused term — he is in IT and has been for many years — maybe he has met people over the years that excel in their job — probably doesn’t break bread with them so more acquaintances than friends. Again he will surround himself with workers and people willing to work and do whatever it takes!!
Bart is a fine man. Enjoy life my friend.
Too bad he ran off all the good IT people and hired his buddies. Can the good IT people he ran off come back now?
So he bailed after the Administrator was named ? After working with him for a year.
Bye Felicia.
