Once she was there Ryan asked her how long she had been working for the county and on county budgets. Kuehl answered since 1990. Ryan told her that her work was appreciated and they wanted to show her their gratitude in a small way. County Clerk Lisa Freiberg then presented Kuehl with a floral arrangement.
