YMC Board votes to make elected positions, appointed positions

 

The Yellow Medicine County Board has voted to make two elected positions, appointed

roles in the county.  The Board voted 4 to 1 to designate the County Recorder and Auditor

Treasurer positions as appointed roles.  The change in designation wasn’t finalized during the

meeting.  If 10 percent of the registered voters petition to have the change placed on a ballot,

it would go to the voters.  Voters have until June 6th to petition for its inclusion on a ballot.

If passed, the appointments would be made by the county board.
