Pipestone County approves appointment of Adam Maloney as assistant county attorney

The Pipestone County Board of Commissioners voted at a special meeting to approve the appointment of Adam Maloney as an assistant Pipestone County attorney.

County Attorney Demaine Sandys told commissioners the appointment paperwork has been prepared and that, once the chair signs and Maloney signs the oath and the Recorder's Office records it, Maloney will be authorized to conduct business as an assistant county attorney. The board approved the appointment by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.

The action follows the county attorney's presentation of the appointment paperwork and a request that the board formally approve the hire. Sandys said the chair would sign the paperwork, then Maloney would sign and the oath would be filed with the County Recorder's Office before Maloney begins official duties. After the vote, commissioners welcomed Maloney to the county staff.

The meeting record does not list a mover or seconder by full name for the motion to approve the appointment, and no numeric vote tally appears in the transcript. The transcript also does not list a start date, salary, or employment contract details for Maloney; those items were not specified at the meeting.

Procedural next steps noted in the meeting: the chair will sign the appointment form, Maloney will sign and take an oath, and the county will record the oath in the County Recorder's Office.
