Madison County supervisors accept auditor Terry Kaczynski’s resignation and plan July appointment
Summary
The Madison County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution accepting Auditor Terry Kaczynski’s resignation, declaring the office vacant effective July 5, 2025, and directing staff to publish the vacancy and begin a short appointment process after July 7, 2025.
The Madison County Board of Supervisors voted to accept the resignation of County Auditor Terry Kaczynski and declared the office vacant effective July 5, 2025. A supervisor introduced a resolution that the board approved by roll call, and the board directed staff to publish the vacancy and begin accepting applications for an appointment to fill the post.
Board business began when a supervisor read a resolution “accepts the resignation of Terry Kaczynski as county auditor” and stated she would not continue past 07/04/2025; the resolution declared the elected office vacant as of 07/05/2025 and said the vacancy would be filled by appointment in July 2025 and published in the Madisonian on or about 05/28/2025. After the reading, Speaker 1 moved to approve the resolution and Speaker 2 seconded.
During discussion, Supervisor (Speaker 3) said the quickest route to stability would be to appoint a replacement. “I think appointing is . . . the fastest way for us to get some stability,” Speaker 3 said, adding the board’s hope was to attract qualified applicants and that citizens retain the right to petition for a special election if they are unhappy with an appointee. Speaker 2 pressed a procedural question about why the resignation was not timed within the same fiscal year and later summarized a short hiring plan: “So we should post the job for 10 days, take applications, interview them, and pick someone.”
Supervisors clarified timing constraints: the board noted it cannot make an appointment until after July 7, 2025, and agreed to post the vacancy for a short application window after that date. The chair said the resolution would be published in the Madisonian and posted on the county website so the county could begin taking applications, and staff would prepare the posting that week.
The board held a roll call vote; the chair declared the resolution passed, and the meeting later adjourned. The county’s next procedural steps are publication of the vacancy, opening the short application period after July 7, and interviewing candidates for an appointment. The transcript does not record a formal vote tally by name beyond the chair’s announcement that the resolution passed.
