Koochiching County will be looking for a new Environmental Services Director.
Dale Olson has tendered his resignation effective February 16.
Olson says felt the time was right, rather than waiting later in the year to step down.
In accepting the resignation, Chair Wade Pavleck praised Olson for his 26-year career with the County.
The County’s personnel committee is being asked to make a recommendation on how best to fill the vacancy.
