JEFFERSON - -After putting in seven years as Ashtabula County administrator, Joe Pedro, is calling it quits.

"I've told all three county commissioners of my retirement plans," Pedro said. "While it's been difficult to leave, I am looking forward to another challenge. I'd like to get back to perhaps doing some college teaching again," Pedro said.

At Tuesday's commissioners meeting, his bosses publicly thanked him for his dedication and service to the county the last seven years. He will leave his post Jan. 5

"We appreciate, (Joe), what you did for getting the Ashtabula County (Nursing) Home back online and getting us through some tough times," said commissioners' board president Deborah Newcomb.

Commissioners Joe Moroski and Robert Boggs echoed Newcomb's thank-you remarks and wished him well in retirement.

Putting out political fires in disputes among county officials, managing the commissioners' staff plus keeping an eagle eye on county finances during his tenure have kept Pedro of Saybrook Township busy.

"I've enjoyed this job. It's been fun and even frustrating at times," Pedro said. "Before I came to the county in 1999, my background was extensively in finances and management of small and major companies."

An Ashtabula County native, Pedro received his undergraduate degree from Gannon University in Erie. He earned a master's degree in industrial management from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland.

His teaching positions included stints at Lorain Community College, Kent State University-Ashtabula and at several area high schools.

"I really love the college academic atmosphere and will probably see what's out there after I leave here," Pedro said. "At colleges, you are teaching people there who want to learn. It's stimulating," he said.
