Treasurer Tina Bertrand said the loan resolution is a procedural step in the county’s FY2025 capital improvement program and enables signing of loan documents related to the borrowing. “This very long, lengthy, agenda item narrative, is basically this is just another step into the, the FY'25 CIP loan,” Bertrand said.

The board opened a public hearing on the budget amendment and, seeing no speakers, closed the hearing. Budget finance director Ryan Erickson summarized multiple changes covered by the amendment and separate transfers: “The net impact to the budget overall is 0,” Erickson said about the sheriff’s requested transfers, noting they are internal reallocations to cover overages in some line items.

Erickson outlined department‑level changes included in the amendment: an increase in liquor‑license revenue for the auditor/recorder office and an almost $50,000 decrease in recorder revenues tied to fewer recorded documents and real‑estate transfers; flood‑repair costs for conservation; added utility and funeral assistance under general services; an additional $20,000 for ambulance assistance credited to emergency services; a roughly $110,000 increase in medical‑examiner activity over budget; and higher attorney fee expenses. He also said revenue to the sheriff’s office declined because the county was unable to house federal inmates due to a delay in jail construction.

On capital projects, the board previously approved a $1.2 million CIP borrowing. Erickson said the amendment reflects expected timing differences and shows a net decrease of more than $3 million in the budget, primarily from a $1.5 million reduction in anticipated federal funds and use of roughly $1 million of prior‑year CIP cash reserves for projects previously borrowed for but not yet expended.

The board unanimously approved the loan‑issuance resolution, the internal sheriff budget transfers, and the fiscal‑year 2025 budget amendment number 1, each by recorded voice vote of 4‑0 (Supervisor Nelson was absent).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Woodbury County Board of Supervisors - May 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Woodbury County approved a $1.2 million taxable general obligation capital loan note, accepted multiple departmental budget transfers (including sheriff transfers), and adopted budget amendment No. 1 for fiscal year 2025 after a public hearing with no public comment.","taxTitle","taxId",3851,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_32":74,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":75,"_40":76,"_42":77,"_44":78,"_46":79,"_48":80,"_50":81,"_52":82,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":83,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":84,"_66":55,"_67":68,"_69":55,"_70":71,"_72":71},6225799,"Woodbury County approves part‑time clerk to cover employee on military leave",153,186000,339000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3531777-e0b3f3b0f0bef11ab818b35047fe902b&start=186&end=339","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3531777-e0b3f3b0f0bef11ab818b35047fe902b/thumbnail_186000.jpg","/articles/6225799/Woodbury-County/Iowa/Woodbury-County-approves-parttime-clerk-to-cover-employee-on-military-leave","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6225799-5b71af0b3e70f6566de68fe4c73cf079/orig.mp4?Expires=1770014839&Signature=YGqU4ltnnPyGGaaGSt1KUzA3uh8latiXs0rrQOc995tO2x78g3vyqx-Ap~iNh9iLMFiRIIU1q78SKWbS8Ezdc0LNND1mIcB6ePJOOCJdDMII85eO0HkDZmXg4pTjDd7RqhOXqSN9HSCOyoGU9ShRSY175wm1Gge70YMcKN27JFZKG9eqjIBO4eMZC7XnL2rSdYMRCSpTHtomRp74fdWPhbNsKYSKXBr-LUa4Is050dMI2uLCxfaVoSCjz9iWAgD5YtEtFRcwe5N~cg8MHOWj0ktxlxH4EHQ015sdMDWuNsO3V7XLpaXjotgFOxVQ1mBYHnPV33MojIiIhz-pm8bnqg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors on May 20 approved a part‑time clerk position to cover office duties while an employee is on military leave.

The action came after Lonnie Coleman presented the request to cover the gap created by an employee on military leave. “I was there by myself in the office, and I had 20 walk‑ins … it was about 15 to 25 minutes apiece,” Coleman said, describing the workload that prompted the request.

Human resources director Melissa Thomas told the board a temporary hire would not qualify for most benefits under the county handbook and federal rules. “I would suggest we not do a full time temporary, but a part time clerk at 25 hours,” Thomas said, adding the net pay projection for the part‑time role would be $27,741 (does not include IPERS until after six months if applicable).

Board members discussed whether the document that showed the absent employee’s dates and pay status should be included in the meeting minutes. A staff member raised concerns about including specific employee information; Joshua (staff member) advised that the motion to receive could be withdrawn. A board member then moved to withdraw the earlier motion to receive the document and the board voted to remove it from the record.

A subsequent motion to authorize a part‑time clerk (25 hours per week) passed unanimously, with the board recording the vote as 4‑0 in favor.

The board directed that future documents presented for receipt at meetings be reviewed by staff before acceptance to prevent publishing employee‑specific material in the minutes.","The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors approved a part‑time clerk position (25 hours/week) to cover duties while an employee is on military leave; the board also voted to withhold employee-specific documents from the public minutes.","actionData","errors"]
