The search for Dawson County's next chief administrative officer began last week when commissioners opened advertisements to replace Cindy Campbell, who unexpectedly resigned last month. Minimum qualifications for the $80,000 to $124,000-per year, salaried position include knowledge and a level of competency associated with the completion of a master's degree in a public administration related field. Experience sufficient to thoroughly understanding the diverse objectives and functions of the county is also sought, according to the county's job listing.
