Longtime Trumbull Co. official resigns from sanitary engineer's office

WARREN — Trumbull County Commissioner Frank Fuda said he regrets that Rex Fee, one one of the key members of the team that has built $70 million in county sewers the past eight years, has resigned.

“I don’t think it was presented in the right way,” Fuda said of the commissioners’ decision Feb. 25 to have Randy Smith, county engineer, take over the administrative position Fee held at the time.

Fee gave a letter to the commissioners Friday resigning his position as executive director of the sanitary engineering department effective immediately. Fee has worked for the county 32 years.

He resigned a little more than a week after commissioners took action to appoint Smith to take charge of sanitary engineering on a trial basis starting later this month.
