The Johnson County Board of Supervisors has selected a new Executive Director.
The Board is scheduled to discuss appointing Erin Shane to fill the open position at a work session on Wednesday.
Shane was selected to serve as interim County Auditor in August of this year after the former Auditor, Travis Weipert, announced his resignation in July. Previously, she worked in the Johnson County Auditor’s Office as Deputy Auditor and for the University of Iowa as the Associate Director of Parking & Transportation.
Julie Persons was elected as the new County Auditor earlier this month.
The Board will vote to confirm Shane’s appointment during the formal meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 26, and Shane’s expected start date is Dec. 2.
The previous Executive Director, Guillermo Morales, was terminated by the Board in September by a 3-2 vote after accusations of insubordinate, disrespectful and argumentative behavior against the three supervisors who later cast the deciding votes.
