MITCHELL, S.D. – The Davison County Auditors Office is now even more shorthanded after commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to place on first-reading an ordinance that would combine the county treasurers and auditors offices under a new entity: the Davison County Finance office.
The majority of the public present during Tuesday’s meeting opposed the plan.
That included Chief Deputy Auditor Jim Matthews who abruptly resigned following the vote.
Matthews told commissioners he was informed that under the proposed ordinance he would not be included in future plans.
Commissioners voted to accept Matthews’ resignation.
Former County Auditor Susan Kiepke resigned earlier this summer to take a job in the private sector.
