Missouri Gov. Mike Parson appointed Marcy Oerly as Moniteau County Assessor last Wednesday morning.
Oerly has resided in the county for 30 years with her husband, Mark Oerly, a veterinarian at California Veterinary Clinic. Oerly has worked for the state of Missouri for nearly 29 years prior to her appointment, administering state and federal programs.
"I am very honored to be able to serve the citizens of Moniteau County," Oerly said Wednesday.
Oerly said her biggest goals for the immediate future are to help regain trust in the office, learn the job and obtaining any training she may need to effectively fulfill her role between now and the election later this year. The Moniteau County Assessor is on the ballot for the Aug. 4 Primary Election, and a new permanent assessor will be selected by voters near the end of 2020 in the General Election Nov. 3.
"(And) I'm looking forward to meeting folks in the community," Oerly said.
