Kristina Deerwester has resigned from the DeWitt County Board.

Board Chair Joe Witte told Regional Radio Deerwester resigned Thursday morning.

Deerwester was involved in a back-and-forth with a resident regarding a special use permit for a kennel in rural DeWitt County. After the vote was taken to approve the application, Deerwester left the meeting and did not return. 

Witte indicates the Board will declare the vacancy at its August meeting.
