A woman who has served Cass County as the Mental Health/General Assistance Coordinator for nearly 19-years was fired today (Wednesday). The Cass County Board of Supervisors acted on the termination of Teresa Kanning during their meeting in Atlantic. Before the motion was made, Board Chair Frank Waters announced the agenda item without recognizing Kanning and her husband Rich, who were in attendance, and refused her request for a closed session.
Supervisor Mark Wedemeyer then made the motion to fire Kanning. Wedemeyer’s motion said her termination, which is retroactive to Feb.5th, 2014, was “Due to work related items.” The motion was unanimously approved. Afterward, Kanning and her husband left without comment. She had earlier indicated there would be no comment on the Board’s action. Near the end of the meeting, the media asked the Supervisors to explain their action.
Board Chair Frank Waters said “No Comment.” KJAN News Director Ric Hanson asked if the Board had spoken with Kanning prior to the surprise announcement in the agenda on Monday. Waters said the only thing they had done was to hold an annual performance evaluation, but he would not comment on whether there were issues with her performance that had not been resolved since then.
Supervisor Chuck Rieken said the Board was advised by legal counsel not to comment on the matter. Deb Schuler, who works with Kanning, will step-in in the interim to handle the office duties. Rieken said a decision on whether or not to replace Kanning full-time depends on the State’s decision on mental health regionalization and design, and other matters.
