Supervisors To Appoint County Treasurer, Recorder Jan. 28

The Mills County Board Of Supervisors are scheduled to appoint a new county treasurer and county recorder at the board’s regular meeting Tuesday,  Jan. 28.

The appointments were necessitated by the December retirements of county treasurer Jill Ford and county recorder LuAnne Christiansen. Both Ford and Christiansen had two years remaining on their four-year (elected) terms at the time of their retirements.

The board of supervisors did have the option of calling for a special election to fill the vacant positions, but chose to make appointments instead because of the cost associated with holding a special election. Applications for both vacancies were accepted until Monday, Jan. 20.

After the two appointments are made on Jan. 28, the public does have 14 days to request a special election via the petition process.

The county treasurer and county recorder positions will both be on the ballot in the next county election.
