I don't know how the County can look at appointing the Sheriff. According to State
Statute the Sheriff is to be
elected. The statute I could find is 382.01 Is there another section that allows
Counties to decide which offices
it will elect or appoint?
382.01 Officers elected; terms.
In every county in this state there shall be elected at the
general election in 1918 a county auditor, a county treasurer,
sheriff, county recorder, county attorney, and coroner.
The terms of office of these officers shall be four years
and shall begin on the first Monday in January next succeeding
their election. They shall hold office until their successors
are elected and qualified. These offices shall be filled by
election every four years thereafter.
