(KNZA)--With the upcoming retirement of longtime Brown County Register of Deeds Nellie Brockhoff, the County Commission has appointed Deputy Register of Deeds Deana Long as Acting Register of Deeds, effective March 2.
The decision was made during the Commission’s February 17 meeting. Long will perform all duties of the office until a successor is appointed by the Governor, as required under Kansas law.
Brockhoff, who has served as Brown County Register of Deeds since 2006, will retire February 27 after 38 years of dedicated county service.
Following Brockhoff’s retirement, the county Republican Precinct Committee will hold a convention to nominate a candidate to serve as Register of Deeds until the November general election. The nominee’s name will then be forwarded to Governor Laura Kelly for official appointment. The winner of the November election will serve a term ending in January 2029.
