(KNZA)--Brown County Clerk Dawn Boyles announced her resignation at the beginning of Monday's County Commission meeting, effective immediately, and was then appointed as the new Hiawatha City Clerk during Monday evening's City Commission meeting.

In her letter of resignation, Boyles stated her decision to resign comes " after careful thought and consideration over the events that have taken place over the last two-and-a-half months"

Boyles thanked her staff and the residents of Brown County for the opportunity to serve them for the last 19.8 years. She went on to thank Commissioner Lamar Shoemaker and County Attorney Kevin Hill for their support, and then left the meeting.

County Payroll Clerk Barb Grabhorn was brought in to finish the rest of the meeting.

Hill said the county Republican Committee will nominate a new county clerk for appointment by Governor Kelly.

The position of Hiawatha City Clerk has been open since the resignation of former city clerk Lynnette Grier earlier this year. Megan Green has been serving as Acting City Clerk since that time.

Mayor Becky Shamburg and city commissioners thanked Green for her service in the interim role.
