The finance director for the City of Annapolis will be stepping down at the end of the year, Annapolis officials say.
Jodee Dickinson, who has worked for the city since 2018, sent in her letter of resignation last week, according to Mitchelle Stephenson, spokesperson for the city. Dickinson indicated that she is seeking “a slower pace in her professional life,” Stephenson said.
“[Dickinson] has been integral in straightening out City Finances, ensuring transparency so the public knows how every dollar is allocated and accounted for,” said Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley in a statement. “Jodee has worked tirelessly on six City budget cycles and I know her to be one of the hardest working people in City government.”
Dickinson has helped to elevate the city’s bond ratings across all three rating agencies and “played a key role” in negotiating the Hillman Garage concession agreement, Buckley said.
“She is a leader who puts integrity and accuracy at the forefront of everything she does. We’ve got her for a few more months and I can’t say strongly enough how proud and grateful I am of her as a team member and a team player,” he said.
Human Resources will search to fill Dickinson’s position at the appropriate time, Stephenson said. As of last year, Dickinson made $184,940 in fiscal 2024, according to data provided from the city human resource office.
