Summary

The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors accepted the resignation of the county IT director, who submitted a letter effective Sept. 26, 2025 and said he plans to assist with a smooth transition.
In his written resignation read at the meeting, the IT director (signed "Tom") said his service spanned more than 19 years and that he was proud of technology improvements and the people he had worked with. "Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for the trust and support that I have received during my position," the resignation said in part. The director addressed the board in person and said he had enjoyed his time working for the county.
The board moved to accept the resignation "with regret," and the motion carried on roll call. Supervisors thanked the director for his service. No replacement was announced; staff said they would address transition details in subsequent personnel work.
Next steps: Personnel staff will process the resignation effective Sept. 26, 2025, and the county will begin succession planning and interim coverage arrangements for IT responsibilities.
