(Atlantic, Iowa) – With the announcement on Wednesday from Cass County Auditor Dale Sunderman that he intends to resign from the position effective April 15^th, comes the next step of finding someone to succeed him. He’s served as an elected official for more than 37-years. Cass County Supervisor’s Board Chairman Steve Baier told KJAN News because Sunderman “has served the County so well for so many years, it’s leaving some really big shoes to fill.”

He said Sunderman’s attention to detail is what makes him a good Auditor.

Baier says the Supervisors are now tasked with finding someone to work with Sunderman before his last day in office. Applications will be available on the County’s website and Cass County Auditor’s Office.

He says they hope candidates who file an application will be interviewed within about a week’s time, and by mid-March have a person who will become the Auditor, at least until the November election.

Steve Baier said he has known Dale Sunderman most of his life, since the time they were growing up in the Noble Center community.
