Rush County surveyor Marvin Rees to retire March 27 after 26 years

Rush County Commissioners · January 12, 2026

Summary

Marvin Rees submitted a resignation letter effective March 27, 2026, after 26 years as Rush County surveyor; the local Republican party will coordinate an interim appointment to complete his term and Rees said he will assist in transition work.

Marvin Rees, the Rush County surveyor, tendered his resignation effective March 27, 2026, citing a desire to retire after 26 years of service, according to a letter read during the Jan. 12 county commissioners meeting.

In the written statement presented to the commission, Rees said, "It is my hope that the many projects that I have been a part of over the decades have helped the citizens of Rush County and left the county in good condition for the future." He offered to assist with the office transition after his departure.

Commissioners thanked Rees for his service. The board discussed next steps: the county's process will rely on the local Republican party to nominate a replacement to finish the unexpired term; commissioners indicated the appointee will then be subject to usual procedures for confirmation and any training or document turnover Rees can provide.

No names were nominated during the meeting. Commissioners said they would coordinate with party officials and county staff to ensure a smooth transition and that Rees is available to advise during the handoff.
