Jefferson City -Gov. Jay Nixon has appointed Janet Rosenauer, of Country Club, as the public administrator for Andrew County. The position became available after the person elected to the position in the November election did not meet the required statutory qualifications.

Rosenauer, a Democrat, served as the Andrew County public administrator from March 2014 until Jan. 5. She is a former mayor of Savannah, and is a retired elementary music teacher for several area school districts, including the Savannah R-III School District. Rosenauer earned her degree in music education from Missouri Western State University.

“Janet Rosenauer capably served the people of Andrew County in this position of high trust before, and I know she will do so again,” Gov. Nixon said
