On September 14, 2020, the Board of Commissioners appointed Tom Klein as County Administrator. Klein received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Public Affairs and his Masters Degree in Public Administration from the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He began his career in the Public Works Department for the City of Bloomington and later served as the Executive Assistant to the Mayor of Bloomington. Klein then worked for two years as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Assistant to the Public Works Director for the City of Indianapolis.

"Tom has an exceptional amount of experience, has a positive attitude, and a willingness to be a part of our community. He knows how government works and how to make improvements in efficiencies and vision. This is an exciting time as we fill this position with a very experienced and talented person," Fulwider said.

Commissioner John Frey is impressed with Klein's track record of looking to the future and obtaining funding for road projects. Frey stated that, "Tom has a wealth of experience in securing funding for infrastructure projects and then getting the projects to completion. He will help us focus on our most pressing needs and then quickly address them."

Commissioner Dan Guard was most impressed with Klein's personal character. "We are very fortunate to find a person like Tom to be our Administrator. We are gaining a valuable manager, and our community is gaining a great family," Guard said.

County Council President Tom Mellish and Councilman Don Mills participated in the interview process with the Commissioners.

For his part Klein is excited to join the Montgomery County team. "I want to thank the County Commissioners and County Council for this opportunity to work with them in order to implement their vision for the County. My family is excited to move to Montgomery County and make new friends and be active in the community.

PRESS RELEASE - September 2, 2020

HEALTH DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES 20 ADDITIONAL CASES,
CLUSTER AT WABASH COLLEGE

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. ― The Montgomery County Health Department announced today 20 additional confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Montgomery County, 14 of which are students of Wabash College. Four cases are staff of Bickford Senior Living. This brings the county’s total cumulative cases to 446. There have been 21 overall cumulative fatalities connected to the coronavirus disease.

An increase in positive cases in Montgomery County is not surprising as positive cases among Wabash College students, once back on campus, are reflected as part of the county’s data on the Indiana State Department of Health dashboard.

Wabash College has been innovative and adaptive in their approach to address COVID-19 this academic school year. In addition to common mitigation strategies (social distancing, wearing masks, washing hands/hygiene, etc.), a surveillance program at the college has been successful in identifying students with COVID-19. The program includes random testing and an app used to monitor symptoms of students and staff. Students who test positive for COVID-19 are isolated and cared for by staff on campus. Close contacts identified through contact tracing are sent home in most cases to quarantine.

Like the recent cluster identified at Bickford Senior Living, the positive cases of students at Wabash College are related to communal living clusters, such as dormitories and fraternities, which is common on college campuses. Most colleges and universities are dealing with similar challenges among their student body.

Demographics related to cases are available on the Indiana State Department of Health’s online dashboard at www.in.gov/coronavirus. Local demographics can be found by clicking on Montgomery County on the state map.

Updates and other information can be found on the Montgomery County Health Department website and social media channels. Other information is available on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website (www.coronavirus.gov) or the Indiana State Department of Health website (www.in.gov/coronavirus).
