(Atlantic) Cass County Supervisor Chairman Steve Baier reacts to Assessor Brenda Nelson’s resignation for the Ames’s City Assessor’s position.
“Brenda has a lot of years of experience here in Cass County, and well respected among other Assessor’s evidenced by her role as President of the Assessor’s organization on the statewide level,” said Baier, who says the Conference Board will be meeting this afternoon. “It’s going to be a challenge to fill that position,” said Baier. “There are certain qualifications required by Iowa Code that a person has to have to fill the Assessor’s position. We have a conference board meeting this afternoon at 5:30, which will be the primary topic of that meeting.
“We hope we get qualified applicants so that we can move forward from there,” stated Baier. “But right now, we’re at squared one.”
Baier says the Assessor’s Office is staffed and will continue with day-to-day operations. He says people with questions can still call the Assessor’s Office to get those questions answered.
