Chase County gives county attorney temporary budget authority to hire assistant
Summary
The commission voted to grant the county attorney additional budget authority to appoint an assistant county attorney to serve until the incoming county attorney takes office, a move intended to ensure continuity during the transition.
Commissioners voted Dec. 31 to authorize the county attorney additional budget authority to hire an assistant county attorney to serve during the transition to a new county attorney.
Board members introduced Brian Brad Anderson as the incoming county attorney who will take over for Bill Halverson on Jan. 13. Earlier in the meeting, commissioners voted to give the existing county attorney expanded budget authority so he may appoint an assistant to help complete pending work until the transition is complete.
The motion to grant temporary hiring authority was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote. The record does not show a roll-call tally. Commissioners did not attach conditions to the authorization in the public discussion; the action was presented as an administrative measure to preserve continuity of legal services.
