Spirit Lake, Iowa — The Dickinson County Board of Supervisors has decided to choose a new county attorney rather than hold a special election.
Former County Attorney Amy Zenor resigned earlier this month after being arrested in the county courthouse and charged with public intoxication. County Supervisor Steve Clark says it would be three months before a special election could be held.
The supervisors appointed an interim Dickinson County Attorney earlier this month and January 3rd is the earliest date the board could appoint someone to the job permanently. This Friday, December 30th, is the deadline for people to submit applications for the position.
