Murray County hires Jenna Peterson as assistant county attorney
Summary
The board approved hiring Jenna Peterson as assistant county attorney effective March 17, 2025, at $47.39 per hour (grade 15, step 9); her background includes service as Redwood County attorney and prior assistant county attorney roles.
The Murray County Board of Commissioners approved the appointment of Jenna Peterson as assistant county attorney, effective March 17, 2025.
Peterson was recommended following interviews by the Personnel Committee; the minutes state she has extensive county-government experience, including eight years as Redwood County Attorney and prior service as an assistant county attorney. Because her experience matches the outgoing assistant county attorney Kayla Johnson, who resigned after appointment as a district court judge, the Personnel Committee recommended placing Peterson at the same pay level: grade 15, step 9 ($47.39 per hour). The board approved the hire on a motion by Mark Carlson, seconded by Roger Zins; the motion passed by roll-call vote.
The minutes do not record a public discussion of competing candidates or any objections. The record lists Peterson's effective start date and pay placement but does not include a written employment contract in the minutes.
