County supervisors to fill treasurer’s vacancy by appointment

By Zach Jensen,

The Winneshiek County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution Monday, to move forward with plans to fill the county treasurer’s position by appointment.

The county’s current treasurer, Brenda Kreitzer, announced her retirement, effective Jan. 3, 2025, during a recent board of supervisors meeting. Kreitzer worked as a deputy tax clerk for Winneshiek County for 27 years and was appointed treasurer in October of 2019 after Wayne Walter retired. 

Winneshiek County Auditor Ben Steines said County Attorney Andy Van Der Maaten prepared a public notice for the appointment of a new county treasurer. Steines said letters of interest and resumes in application for the position must be received by 4 p.m., Friday, Dec. 6, and the board of supervisors will begin reviewing the received applications Dec. 9. The appointment is expected to be made Monday, Jan. 6, 2025. The public may file a petition calling for the county to hold a special election within 14 days of the appointment, Steines said.
