Shireau identified herself as living in Elk Point and described alleged offenses she said included human trafficking, racketeering, murder, kidnapping, torture, grand larceny, forgery and fraud. She said she had previously contacted the sheriff\u000027s office and the board but had not received a response. \"If he's not willing to do what he was elected to do, then I know as a previous county commissioner I am gonna submit recall petition against him and to have him removed as an elected official,\" Shireau told the board.

Shireau asked the county auditor to prepare documents showing the number of signatures required to file a recall; she said she would return to pick up the materials within a week. The board did not take any formal action on her request during the meeting. County staff accepted the paperwork she handed to the board.

Ending: Supervisors did not comment substantively on the allegations during the meeting and no board action was taken; staff acknowledged receipt of the materials and noted that any formal recall process would follow statutory requirements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-03-11 Board of Supervisors Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","A Woodbury County resident told supervisors she will begin a recall petition against the sheriff, alleged a range of criminal activity and requested records on how many signatures would be required; no action was taken by the board during the meeting.","taxTitle","taxId",3851,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_32":73,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":74,"_40":75,"_42":76,"_44":77,"_45":78,"_47":79,"_49":80,"_51":81,"_53":54,"_55":56,"_57":82,"_59":60,"_61":62,"_63":83,"_65":54,"_66":67,"_68":54,"_69":70,"_71":70},6281385,"Supervisors approve consent agenda, copier agreement and $1.2 million GO note resolution",200,78000,278000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2606178-fa36b3081f59b1c99eb126d569cf71a4&start=78&end=278","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2606178-fa36b3081f59b1c99eb126d569cf71a4/thumbnail_78000.jpg","/articles/6281385/Woodbury-County/Iowa/Supervisors-approve-consent-agenda-copier-agreement-and-12-million-GO-note-resolution","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6281385-e1bd19e1acaa8ab8ed33c199133fd9b6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770014870&Signature=S6lFuRDqPUXG2UgYOQ6JheSMSE9rXr~RjXYqnwjYX3WyN~GNG6HHGsWGQYZunHM2~a6mtDH8IJmqZLDs7WWNzjRfigovKJiXhuRrT59Z~Pe8hf8zQNNzHloSrSlVvH3wWyPUQMrovIb7P5oxdxn7a-ddAsZ9qD-xjis~5OHMZ6Gp6WywoWvkOQJz~38N5IACPbQeGkBRqd-BLPhxlyb1JgxU~Xy5FIlSActjn4KhWQxoJf7MImuivvj8~sAD7LmukuOE7r~4AJHXFmmIZVU9cXTPw4Sfgv9FKYrmvrRkA54G8DvK0DzvW~E8GHno~6c-EZ0PUX51luKgTrgHcNhUVQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","WOODBURY COUNTY, Iowa \u00002D The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the meeting agenda and a consent agenda that included routine administrative items and a financial resolution.

The consent agenda, approved by a 4-0 vote, included approval of minutes from the March 4, 2025 meeting; approval of claims; and approval of two notice-of-sale resolutions for tax-forfeited parcels (parcel ending in 5016, 410 Eighteenth Street; parcel ending in 5001, 2910 Thirteenth Street). The finance-related consent item described in the agenda was a resolution authorizing the issuance of $1,200,000 in taxable general obligation capital loan notes (series described in the packet). The resolution and related paperwork were approved on the consent agenda vote.

Earlier in the meeting County Auditor Michelle Scaff sought board approval and signature for a copier agreement with Visual Edge (Visual Edge IT) to replace the auditor's copier. Scaff said the new contract sets a monthly payment of $248.73 and specifies monthly allocations for color and black-and-white copies. \"Our copier is up for renewal and so this is just the agreement with Visual Edge so that we can receive a new copier ... cost of $248.73 per month,\" Scaff said. She said negotiations used the last three months of usage to set the monthly allotment after the general election inflated typical volumes.

All motions for the agenda, the consent package and the copier agreement were approved with unanimous votes recorded in the meeting minutes.

Ending: Board members noted Supervisor Nelson was absent and recovering from surgery; no objections were raised during the consent vote and staff will finalize contract signatures and publish required sale notices.","Board approved the meeting agenda, a package of routine consent items including a resolution authorizing $1.2 million in taxable general obligation capital loan notes, and a copier lease for the auditor's office at $248.73 per month.",{"_32":85,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":86,"_40":87,"_42":88,"_44":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":92,"_51":93,"_53":54,"_55":56,"_57":94,"_59":60,"_61":62,"_63":95,"_65":54,"_66":67,"_68":54,"_69":70,"_71":70},6281389,"Woodbury County sells four tax-forfeited parcels at public auction",770,240000,1010000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2606178-fa36b3081f59b1c99eb126d569cf71a4&start=240&end=1010","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2606178-fa36b3081f59b1c99eb126d569cf71a4/thumbnail_240000.jpg","/articles/6281389/Woodbury-County/Iowa/Woodbury-County-sells-four-tax-forfeited-parcels-at-public-auction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6281389-98af0d4b3fd038b0b9bdda3e6b0fd82b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770014870&Signature=mgo8wUcyLWQo-eJGxKJCL5aEKO3X7ygagmt1gTffCENXwlKF7~hK77Wd-~qKCSsc2ifz86iS4hA3Wn3EsWawLxEUd9AqSXeZkCYsHSFU5o-CkPfL0-ncyb6Vrc6BeWDtgFbE74yNOopXnHfqS9v3RZZk1xTdla~BHFF1D5rFgpp7bSKJpBmcI-Hwajf85ZmhDlIM9PIFeEo4lljeNcPkvs5wrleGFCR1deCs73jxQQOeP1ZN8B25MfgjEWPi9uARQpXM7kGbFgPlErJ9LaPlovVWLjrTcCqTDCwmPlvuw9WvQE-71lVd2ZKuQwoS3y5i0OQAX3hek7QxBwXK2xSm2Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","WOODBURY COUNTY, Iowa \u00002D Woodbury County conducted two scheduled public auctions during the board meeting and the Board of Supervisors approved sale awards by unanimous vote.

At the 4:35 p.m. set time, the county offered parcel 9005 (listed as 3508 West Fifth Street) for sale. Bidding opened with multiple participants; after competitive bids the board awarded the property to a bidder identified in the record as Mr. Finson for $1,100. The board approved the award and instructed staff to complete paperwork.

At the 4:37 p.m. set time, the county opened bids for three adjacent parcels (ending in 9009, 9010 and 9011), identified as 1813, 1815 and 1817 South Olive Street.

Earlier in the meeting the board approved notice-of-sale resolutions for two additional parcels (parcel ending in 5016, 410 Eighteenth Street; and parcel ending in 5001, 2910 Thirteenth Street) on the consent agenda; those approvals were for setting sale notice dates and not the final sale of those properties. All motions and awards at the meeting were recorded as passing 4-0.

County Auditor Michelle Scaff told the board the county\u000027s general basic fund deficit had been reduced to about $2.1 million after newly identified revenues were added to the budget model. With certain improvement requests removed, Scaff said the deficit would be about $1.7 million. \"We did have a few findings at that point. These items ... have been identified since last week's meeting, in revenue that we've received and never budgeted,\" Scaff said as she presented the updated spreadsheet to the board.

The auditors and supervisors also discussed a $2 million reduction in expected federal inmate revenue for FY25, which Scaff said she had already reflected in the beginning balance. She told the board the current proposals would leave general basic reserves near 16 percent if adopted as shown.

After discussion about how to handle departmental staffing and pay requests, one supervisor moved to remove all improvement requests from the proposed FY26 budget; another seconded the motion. The board approved the motion unanimously. The county treasurer clarified for the public that the term \"improvement requests\" referred to requests from departments for added staffing, changes in personnel grades or steps and similar personnel funding requests.

Supervisors said the plan is to return next week with individual agenda items to consider each improvement request on its merits and to host work sessions over the next three Tuesdays to review budget reductions. The board and staff also agreed to circulate the updated spreadsheets used in the presentation to supervisors.

No formal reductions beyond removing the improvement requests were adopted at the meeting; staff said individual items could be added back later if the board approved them. The motion to remove the requests carried 4-0.

The board discussed scheduling and legal deadlines for final adoption and publication. Scaff advised that the adopted budget must be provided to the county's publishing staff so legal notices can be printed; she said changes can still be made up to adoption but cautioned on timing requirements.

Ending: Board members scheduled additional work sessions and a focused review next week to evaluate individual improvement requests and potential cuts before finalizing the FY26 budget.","The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to remove all departmental improvement requests from the proposed fiscal year 2026 budget and will re-evaluate requests individually next week; auditor reported the county\u000027s projected general basic fund deficit and updated revenue estimates.","actionData","errors"]
