OMAHA- Sarpy County is seeking applications to replace Trace Jones, the current County Treasurer, who announced recently that they would be resigning on August 31st. Jones began his term as Treasurer in January and was set to serve in the role until January 26th. Nebraska law requires that the Sarpy County Board appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of the term.

Applicants for the role must be residents of Sarpy County, as well as registered voters. Ideally, though not required under state law, an applicant would also have a background in management, finance, or banking, said a press release released by Sarpy County officials. According to the office's website, the Treasurer supervises a staff of 28 employees, and has an annual budget of roughly $2 million.

Jones confirmed that no particular incident led to his resignation, and that he believes he's "leaving on a high note." Before being elected to the position, Jones had been appointed by Sarpy County Board as interim treasurer in April 2021 following the Board's removal of Brian Zuger, the previous treasurer.
