The Cottonwood County Board approved a set of administrative personnel and facility agreements during its July 15 meeting.
County Coordinator Kelly Thongvivong moved to make Kristi Hedman permanent full-time Deputy Recorder effective July 21, 2025, after completion of probation; the Board approved the change. The Board also approved hiring James Rosenkrantz, Tyler Fauglid, and Dylan Markus as part-time jailers/dispatchers pending successful completion of hiring requirements. The Board accepted the resignation of Deputy Assessor Sarah Lanier effective Aug. 13, 2025 and authorized advertising for an Appraiser Trainee/Appraiser position.
Separately, the Board approved 2026 lease agreements with Cottonwood County Soil and Water Conservation District and United Community Action Partnership and approved two memoranda of understanding with Des Moines Valley Health and Human Services for the Fourth Street and Ninth Street buildings.
