Cottonwood County accepts county attorney resignation; board extends offer to former county attorney
Summary
The board accepted County Attorney Deja Weber’s resignation effective April 25 and unanimously voted to extend an employment offer to former County Attorney Nick Anderson at $171,000 per year.
The Cottonwood County Board of Commissioners accepted County Attorney Deja Weber’s resignation, effective April 25, 2025, and unanimously extended an offer to former County Attorney Nick Anderson for the vacant position at an annual salary of $171,000.
Why it matters: The county attorney is the county’s chief legal officer; filling the position quickly affects ongoing legal work and continuity for county departments. The board discussed options for recruitment and the transition before voting.
At the April 15 meeting, the board recorded the resignation and then discussed steps to fill the post. After deliberation, Chair Kevin Stevens moved to extend an offer to Nick Anderson, and Commissioner Larry Anderson seconded the motion; the board voted unanimously to approve the offer. The meeting minutes record the vote as unanimous but do not list individual roll-call votes.
The minutes do not specify whether the offer includes any additional terms beyond the stated salary or a start date. Deja Weber’s resignation letter was received April 6, and the board listed April 25, 2025, as her effective departure date.
Next steps: The board did not record further procedural steps or a start date in the minutes. If Anderson accepts, the county will likely publish formal hiring paperwork and any transitional arrangements.
