EVERETT — Roger Neumaier will serve as Snohomish County’s interim finance department director, incoming Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon announced Wednesday.
Neumaier has been a part of County Executive Bob Drewel’s team in recent years. He has been the county’s executive office administrator and the budget administrator since 2001. Neumaier was the county’s deputy finance director and budget administrator from 1999 to 2001.
"Roger Neumaier has been the architect of Snohomish County’s financial survival in these difficult times," Reardon said in a prepared statement. "I am very pleased Roger will continue to lend his considerable talents to my administration."
Neumaier’s responsibilities will include oversight of the county’s budgeting, accounting, purchasing and risk management. Rachel Solemsaas, the department’s acting director, will take over as comptroller.
Before joining Snohomish County, Neumaier worked for seven years as chief finance and administrative officer for the state Health Care Authority, the state agency that manages the Basic Health Plan and state employee health care. Before that, he served for five years as chief financial officer for industrial insurance at the state Department of Labor and Industries.

Man faces child molestation charges: A 25-year-old Seattle man is facing a child molestation charge after the 13-year-old Snohomish County girl he allegedly coerced into having sex saw through his claims of love and vampirism.
Michael Sean Dangelo met the girl in late 2001 outside the Lynnwood Skating Rink and later wooed her in an Internet chat room.
"The defendant said he was a vampire and wanted to suck her blood. Then he told her she was beautiful and that she looked 17 or 18 years old," Snohomish County deputy prosecutor George Appel said in Superior Court papers.
Dangelo knew the girl was 13, and she knew he was 25. They began a sexual relationship.
When the girl’s mother discovered that Dangelo had been calling her daughter, she called him, confronted him about the age difference and told him to leave her 13-year-old alone.
"The defendant’s efforts to woo (the girl) bogged down, independently of her mother’s warning," Appel wrote. "In the end he was the victim of his own faithlessness and unsated desire for young girls."
In May 2002, the girl contacted Dangelo over the computer, using a different name, and said she was interested in sex. He said he wanted to meet her and have sex as well.
She reported what happened in June.
