Linn County attorney seeks to fill full‑time felony prosecutor position, aims to promote from within
Summary
Linn County Attorney Nick Maibanks presented a vacancy form for a full‑time felony prosecutor, saying the office intends to promote internally with an external hire to follow; budget constraints may delay the hire until mid‑May and the item was placed on the consent agenda.
Linn County Attorney Nick Maibanks told the board Monday that the county has a vacancy form for a full‑time felony prosecutor position in the Criminal Attorney's Office that the board previously approved in budget discussions.
Maibanks said the request is 'not terribly controversial' and that the office's preference is to promote from within: three current assistants have expressed interest, and the office will choose among them for the internal promotion. He said that if budget constraints prevent immediate filling of the position, the department would coordinate with Human Resources and Budget & Finance and likely fill the post in mid‑May.
A board member noted that HR (Lisa) and Budget & Finance (Sarah) had signed off on the form. The group agreed to place the vacancy form on the consent agenda so the prosecutor would not need to return for a separate appearance. No vote on hiring was recorded; the board's action was to accept the vacancy form and move the item to consent processing.
Maibanks thanked the board and said he expected to follow up with HR on timing. The transcript contains no further specifics on salary, grade, or an external candidate’s identity.
