| Former county Finance Director John Troyer |
The University of Tennessee's Political
Science Scholastic Honor Society (Pi Alpha Alpha) in conjunction with
the East Tennessee Chapter of the American Society for Public
Administration will honor former Knox County Finance Director John
Troyer as its “Public Administrator of the Year.”
The ceremony will take place at 11:30
a.m. today in the Toyota Room of the Howard Baker Center.
Troyer left last spring to take a job
with the city of Alcoa to serve as its finance director. At the time
he said it was a lower-profile position and he didn't have to deal
with the media as much. Also, city government is more
straightforward.
Former county Mayor Mike Ragsdale
tapped Troyer to serve as head county bean counter after then-finance
director John Werner resigned in July 2007 amid a furor over the
improper use of purchasing cards by employees in the mayor's office.
Before that, Troyer, a certified public
accountant, served as the county comptroller for six years. He also
worked as a finance director for the city of Bartlett, Tenn., and for
Blount County.
