The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on Wednesday named an interim replacement for Assessor Paul Petersen, who was suspended this week after being charged with human trafficking.

In a unanimous vote, Bill Wiley was appointed acting administrator for the metro Phoenix assessor’s office.

Wiley’s experience with the county includes stints as Flood Control District chief engineer and Air Quality Department director.

He’ll be paid more than $72 per hour in the temporary role, about double Peterson’s assessor salary.

Petersen was suspended without pay Monday for 120 days, the maximum allowed under state law.
