The Cass County Board of Supervisors will act, Tuesday, on the resignation of County Attorney Michael Hooper. On Friday, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds announced she had appointed Hooper as a District Judge for the Fourth Judicial District, which covers Audubon, Cass, Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Montgomery, Page, Pottawattamie and Shelby Counties. He was appointed as the Cass County Attorney last year, succeeding David Wiederstein, who announced in August 2017 that he would no longer serve as part-time Attorney, effective Jan. 1^st, 2018.

Hooper was unopposed in the November General Election. The Supervisors will receive his resignation, and discuss/act on a procedure to fill the future vacancy in the Attorney’s Office.  View his letter of resignation here: Letter of resignation

The two procedures are:

• By appointment of the board of supervisors, or,
• By special election to fill the office for the remaining balance of the unexpired term.

In other business, the Board will act on appointing a Lincoln Township Trustee to fill a vacancy position, and on approving a permit for the Dollar General Store in rural Griswold, to sell cigarettes, tobacco, alternative nicotine or vapor products.

They will also begin work on the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 County Budget. Their meeting begins at 9-a.m., in their Boardroom at the Cass County Courthouse.
