Beyond recordkeeping, Halei serves as a key point of contact within county government. She often works between departments, the county administrator, and commissioners to coordinate projects, approvals, and administrative needs that involve multiple offices. Whether it’s handling official paperwork, securing necessary signatures, or keeping information moving between the right people, she helps keep county operations connected and running efficiently.

She also takes care of important administrative tasks like processing alcohol license applications, recording timber bonds, and assisting the commissioners with their training requirements. She helps finalize special projects and grants, making sure all necessary paperwork is signed, completed, and sent to the right people.

Halei also manages the county’s job application portal, ensuring that job openings are posted and applications reach the correct department heads.

As the county’s public relations officer, Halei makes sure citizens stay informed, involved, and connected to county government. She works to keep communication open, making local government more accessible to everyone.
