Nobles County approves contract with Smith and Johnson for misdemeanor prosecutions
Summary
Following an assistant county attorney’s resignation and increased caseloads, the board approved a contract with Smith and Johnson to provide independent-contractor prosecution services for misdemeanor offenses.
The Nobles County Board approved a proposed contract authorizing the law firm Smith and Johnson to provide independent-contractor prosecution services on behalf of the county for misdemeanor offenses. Meeting minutes state the contract was considered because an assistant county attorney resigned and remaining attorneys had increased caseloads alongside other civil and advisory duties.
The motion to approve the contract between the Nobles County Attorney’s Office and Smith and Johnson was moved by Commissioner Justin Ahlers and seconded by Commissioner Gene Metz. The minutes record the motion as duly passed; the minutes do not include a roll-call tally or hourly/fee details for the contract in the public text.
