The Adair County Board of Supervisors called an Emergency Session for 2-p.m. Friday to address and accept the resignation of County Attorney Clint Hight. In his letter of resignation, Hight said his decision was due to a medical diagnosis.

According to Adair County Auditor Mandy Berg, the Supervisors intend to fill the seat by appointment. They have agreed to publish a notice in the paper next week of their intention to appoint a replacement. The Board will then have between four and twenty-days to make that appointment. Afterward, the Public has the right to contest the appointment, providing it is done within 14-days of the appointment.
