ERNIE DRONENBURG HONORED WITH
HJTA LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Longtime San Diego County Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk Ernest J. Dronenburg, Jr., was honored with the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award at a dinner banquet on the occasion of his retirement in December.

HJTA President Jon Coupal, who presented the award to Dronenburg, saluted his excellent service to taxpayers. “Ernie has always worked hard for San Diego County residents,” Coupal said. “He has our admiration and gratitude for running his office with transparency and fairness, and for protecting Proposition 13.”

In January, Dronenburg was present at the County Administration Center to swear in his successor, Jordan Marks, as San Diego County’s new Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk. He praised Marks as “an outstanding person” who has “the experience as well as a love for the taxpayer.”

HJTA congratulates Ernie Dronenburg on receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award and wishes him much happiness and well-deserved relaxation in his retirement.
