Is new form of government ahead for Minnehaha County? Voters could decide

Proposal would merge county auditor, other offices into one department, empower county manager

County Commissioners Dean Karsky and Joe Kippley next week will unveil a proposal to establish what’s known as a home rule charter for Minnehaha County, a move that would create a county manager position and combine the offices of county auditor, treasurer, and register of deeds into a single department.
