Livingston County Administrator Ian Coyle is stepping down from his role after 16 years on the job.
Coyle, whose last day will be Dec. 31, was hired by the county’s board of supervisors in 2008, according to a statement released by county officials on Monday. Officials say Coyle let the board of supervisors know last year that he would not seek reappointment after his current term expires and will instead opt to pursue other interests related to public administration.
County officials touted Coyle’s leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as efforts to secure state and federal funding to help with emergency medical services funding, the expansion of the county’s emergency operations center and the deployment of high-speed, affordable internet across Livingston County.
“I pride myself on being the best county administrator I could be and to never accept anything less than forward-thinking progress and service excellence in our operations,” Coyle said in a statement. “I am happy to know that as my impending departure comes closer, we still have over $4 million in ARPA funds at our disposal to carry out transformative initiatives. We have a broadband program to bring high-speed internet to thousands of homes in the county. We have a strong financial profile and we have a reputation for progressive, creative and innovative solutions. We have great leaders at the managerial level, strong reserves, a working strategic plan and a five-year capital improvement plan. These accomplishments were a true collective team effort and one I was happy and appreciative to be a part of for over 16 amazing years.”
Current Deputy County Administrator David Pribulka will take over as county administrator on Jan. 1.
“Ian’s leadership and ability to effectively communicate and remain transparent with the board were second to none,” Board of Supervisors Chair David LeFeber said in a statement. “He consistently played a key role in navigating difficult decisions and always made sure we thoroughly considered all possibilities before choosing the best course of action for the county. The progress the county has made in areas like emergency medical services, infrastructure, and community renewal is a direct result of his thoughtful leadership. On behalf of the board and a grateful county, I thank him for his many years of service and wish Ian all the best in his future endeavors.”
