  1.1                          A bill for an act 
  1.2             relating to Wright county; permitting the appointment 
  1.3             of the county recorder. 
  1.4   BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
  1.5      Section 1.  [RECORDER MAY BE APPOINTED.] 
  1.6      Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, section 382.01, upon 
  1.7   adoption of a resolution by the Wright county board of 
  1.8   commissioners, the office of county recorder in the county is 
  1.9   not elective but must be filled by appointment by the county 
  1.10  board as provided in the resolution.  Before the county board 
  1.11  may adopt a resolution under this section, the board must hold a 
  1.12  public hearing on the proposal to appoint the county recorder. 
  1.13     Sec. 2.  [BOARD CONTROLS, MAY CHANGE AS LONG AS DUTIES 
  1.14  DONE.] 
  1.15     Upon adoption of a resolution by the Wright county board of 
  1.16  commissioners and subject to section 3, the duties of the 
  1.17  elected official required by statute whose office is made 
  1.18  appointive as authorized by this act must be discharged by the 
  1.19  board of commissioners of Wright county acting through a 
  1.20  department head appointed by the board for that purpose.  A 
  1.21  reorganization, reallocation, or delegation or other 
  1.22  administrative change or transfer does not diminish, prohibit, 
  1.23  or avoid the discharge of duties required by statute. 
  1.24     Sec. 3.  [APPOINTEE TO VACANCY.] 
  2.1      The person appointed to fill the vacancy in the office 
  2.2   following the resignation in September 2000 of the elected

  2.4   its authority under this act or until a recorder is elected at 
  2.5   the end of the term being filled by appointment. 
  2.6      Sec. 4.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
  2.7      This act is effective the day following final enactment.  
  2.8   No local approval is required.
