Board appoints Chief Deputy Todd as interim sheriff until election

Iowa County Board of Supervisors · July 10, 2026

Summary

Following a resignation, the board voted to appoint Chief Deputy Todd Sarabrai as acting sheriff until the next general election; the appointment will last until the elected sheriff takes office in January.

The board considered a resolution to fill a sheriff's vacancy and move forward with an interim appointment. Speaker 5 summarized the situation and recommended appointing Todd Sarabrai — who was serving as chief deputy and as acting sheriff after the resignation — saying, "I think he's a great person... I think he would be an excellent person to have in this position going forward." A roll-call motion to appoint Todd was made and passed; supervisors confirmed the appointment lasts until the end of the year and that the November election will determine who takes office in January.

The board discussed procedural details about timing and the formality of swearing-in and asked county staff to prepare the necessary paperwork and a public notice of the appointment. Speaker 1 and other supervisors completed the roll call and recorded an affirmative vote on the resolution.
