CIJDC Executive Director out, new head will be sought
By Michael Hohenbrink

A new executive director will be sought for the Central Iowa Juvenile Detention Center.
Hardin County Board of Supervisors Chairman Lance Granzow said he was limited in what he could release but said that former Executive Director Tony Reed was no longer employed, as of Friday, Sept. 24.
Reed confirmed this by social media.
“After 32 years, 29 as the Executive Director, I am no longer with Central Iowa Juvenile Detention Center,” said Reed. “Started there on day 1 of the organization's existence, I still remember that day.”
Reed clarified that he did not retire.
He said he had been with the center for 32 years, having served 29 of those years as executive director.
According to Granzow, Kassie Ruth, fiscal director, is currently filling in for the executive position.
Now, the commission will look to find a permanent occupant for the position.
“So, yesterday there was an executive board meeting,” said Reed, speaking by phone Wednesday.
A job description has not yet gone out but should soon.
“Hopefully, within a week,” said Granzow.
