About
Ann:
I have worked for Sauk County for over a quarter of a
century! I started February, 1980 in the Planning & Zoning
Office. After 5 1/2 years there, & having been shared at
times with the Treasurer's Office, I transferred to the
Treasurer/Real Property Listing Office in October, 1985. I
have been here ever since, & still find it to be fun & a
challenge.
My husband, Jack, & I were married in the mountains of
Montana in 1977. We have 2 sons, Michael (1982) and Peter
(1984).
I am happiest when I am playing volleyball, golf, or cards,
or kayaking. I also enjoy reading, walking, and visiting
elderly friends. |
| About
the office: Sauk County has a combined Treasurer &
Real Property Listing Office, and we keep the records for
all 39 municipalities in the county. Patricia Carignan was
elected County Treasurer in 2004, and her position also
includes the Real Property Lister title. There are five
other employees in the office. Although we share many duties
& help each other out a lot, we also have areas we
specialize in. I am the Manager of the Real Property Listing
functions, and there are two other Real Property Listing
Specialists: Lorraine Casson & Rene Ramsey. Both have worked
here for several years, & both worked at a title company for
many years prior, so they are great assets. Our County
Treasurer, Patricia Carignan, has been a county employee for
30 years, and has worked in this office for 13 years, so we
are very fortunate to have a new treasurer that is so well
qualified. There are two accounting assistants, Lore Lange &
Liz Geohagen. Both are fairly new to our office, but have
learned quickly & have good backgrounds, so it is working
out well. Our office has always prided itself on it's
helpfulness, friendliness, & cooperation. We all work
together very well and enjoy each other. As far as
uniqueness, we certainly qualify! Included in our monthly
routine is "Hat Day", the first Wednesday of every month.
The public has come to enjoy & expect that we each wear one
of the 50+ hats in our collection. Also, Halloween is when
we shine! Check us out.
On a more serious note, we have had a wonderful mapping
department working with us for 25 years. We have the entire
county mapped electronically & will soon have on our website
a great GIS system available. We currently have our tax &
assessment information online, & it is used extensively. The
many offices that comprise the Land Information committee
have a history of working well together and we have
benefited from several years of significant income from
recording fees, using the money to improve our land records
system. |
