Summary
The Wapello County Board of Supervisors unanimously appointed Danielle Weller to fill the county auditor vacancy and approved a related leave of absence; payroll and claims for the period were also approved.
The Wapello County Board of Supervisors voted April 21 to appoint Danielle Weller to fill a vacancy as county auditor. Vice Chair Carrie Teninty moved the appointment; Supervisor Bryan Ziegler seconded and the motion passed with all ayes.

The board accepted several routine financial reports and approved payroll and claims: payroll totaling $451,240.72 and claims totaling $457,622.76 for the period ending April 17, 2026.
Why it matters: The county auditor is responsible for county financial records and election administration; the board’s appointment fills a key administrative vacancy. The minutes also noted upcoming retirements in several departments, and Recorder Lisa Kent announced she will not run for re-election.
Board action and next steps: The appointment was recorded as approved by the board; no further action on the appointment was recorded in the minutes. Routine reports were filed as presented.
