'''George Touart''' (pronounced TOO-ar) is the former [[Escambia County Administrator]]. He was appointed on [[April 4]], [[2002]], by a unanimous [[Escambia County Commission]] vote in which he was selected over four other candidates.<ref>"Touart picked to lead Escambia." ''Pensacola News Journal'', April 5, 2002.</ref> He officially took the position on [[April 22]], replacing interim administrator [[Bob Halfhill]], who had served since the resignation of [[Tom Forrest]] on [[December 3]], [[2001]]. Touart presided over the [[soccer complex corruption scandal]] and the resulting removal from office of several [[County Commissioner]]s, as well as the County's reconstruction efforts following [[Hurricane Ivan]]. In [[2007]], a $1.4 million land purchase approved by the County was reconsidered and eventually canceled after undisclosed business relationships between Touart and the property's seller, [[Neal Nash]] of [[Martine's Corp.]], were revealed. As public scrutiny increased, Touart disclosed additional dealings with other entities that do business with [[Escambia County]]. Facing likely suspension and citing an "atmosphere of distrust" that made it "almost impossible to continue as county administrator,"<ref name="resigns">"Touart resigns." ''Pensacola News Journal'', September 7, 2007.</ref> Touart announced his resignation before the [[Board of County Commissioners]] on [[September 6]], [[2007]].
