Nancy Bunt started her new position as Assistant County Administrator in Indian River County on Monday.
A veteran public servant and long-time Floridian, Bunt, 56, worked together with County Administrator John Titkanich for 15 years at the City of Cocoa. In Vero, she will oversee the Natural Resources, Planning and Development, Public Works, and Utility Services departments.
“I’m really looking forward to working in Indian River County,” Bunt said. “I think there will be a lot of positive changes and improvements.”
Bunt’s hiring is part of a plan to add two top leadership positions in Titkanich’s office – Bunt’s and an Ombudsman who will work with her and Indian River County residents navigating the development plan review process. The two positions were budgeted for the current year which began Oct. 1. Bunt left the City of Palm Bay to accept the position, which pays an annual salary of $170,000, plus benefits.
Bunt comes to Indian River County with 28 years of local government experience with specialties like capital planning, public infrastructure, planning and development, and grant administration.
