Westport Finance Director Announces Retirement

Kondub, who will retire effective Feb. 1, outlined a timetable for an orderly succession beginning with appointment of a search committee, an interview process, hiring of a candidate, and an overlapping orientation period, Joseloff said. 

Kondub, 57, was appointed finance director in August 2008 after serving as acting finance director since the death on Feb. 19, 2008 of Finance Director Donald J. Miklus, 67, who had been a town employee for 42 years.

Kondub, a lifelong Westporter, joined the town’s staff in 1976 as an accountant after graduating from Villanova University with a B.S. in accounting.

In March 1982, he was named deputy controller and became controller when the title of Miklus was changed to Finance Director in 2001.

“We are grateful for John’s dedicated service to the town,” Joseloff said. “Under his guidance, we have successfully maintained our AAA bond rating and been cited numerous times for excellence in financial reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association."

“We wish him well in his future endeavors.”
