The Cherry County Commissioners are meeting Tuesday at the Cherry County Courthouse commissioners’ meeting room. One of the items on the agenda was the resignation of Cherry County Assessor Jackie Moreland and the county’s options moving forward. Property Tax Administrator Sarah Scott was present at the meeting and stated that the county would need to make an appointment to fill the position within 45 days of the vacancy. There was quite a bit of discussion surrounding the office and the commissioners’ options. Scott did state that if the county was not able to make a qualified appointment in that time frame, there was the potential to appoint an interim assessor from the State of Nebraska. Moreland submitted her resignation to the county at their last meeting, effective September 10th, meaning that a replacement must be in the office no later than October 25th.
