In these times of economic uncertainty, you can be assured that Gila County is in extremely sound financial shape. We have been prudent in controlling the growth and size of county government while not diminishing the number and quality of the services we provide to our citizens/customers.

The county’s Strategic Plan is a working document and valuable tool in carrying out our mission of providing a safe, secure and healthy environment where current residents, visitors and future generations can live, work, play, prosper and invest in our community. The Strategic Plan which was developed by the Elected Officials and Appointed Department Heads is critical in our annual budget development process and our annual employee performance planning and review process.

The Administrative Management Team holds itself accountable by subscribing to a set of 12 Leadership Principles with the overarching themes of “Doing the Right Thing” and “Leading by Example”. The Team believes in and fosters the administrative initiative of continuous improvement and quality management throughout the organization.

The Administrative Manager, Linda Rodriguez, plays a key role in coordinating the activities of the administrative offices in the county. She is an important member of the Administrative Team assisting in budget preparation, county wide policy development, and strategic decisions as well as serving as liaison between the County Manager’s Office and all other Elected Officials and Appointed Department Heads.
