Board administration director Ryan Erickson presented a slate of transfers that the board approved in separate motions. Approved transfers recorded in the meeting include: a transfer of $6,462,354 from General Supplemental to General Basic to fund payroll‑related appropriations; $187,859 from Rural Basic Services to the County Library fund; $1,800,000 from Rural Basic Services to the Secondary Roads fund to move township‑levied taxes to secondary roads; $76,500 from Rural Supplemental to Rural Basic for payroll matching; $786,850 from the Tax Increment Financing fund to the Debt Service fund to pay principal and interest; $132,600 to reimburse the Brown's Lake project from conservation/general basic funds; and multiple $300,000 transfers from gaming revenue, local option sales tax and Secondary Road funds into the Debt Service fund for tax‑reduction and debt service purposes.

Erickson also presented two proposed transfers — $200,000 from the Courthouse Maintenance fund to General Supplemental and $29,915 from the Pilot fund to General Supplemental — that supervisors asked to research further. A motion to table those two items passed 5-0. Separately, a motion to table moving $12,107.58 from a Courthouse Foundation fund was also approved pending staff research about whether the foundation had been dissolved and whether the tax ID remained active.

The board discussed a related administrative item: moving unspent fiscal 2024 building services funds ($61,156.81) to the Courthouse Maintenance fund. Staff clarified that the amount had been included in reserve balances considered during budget hearings and one supervisor rescinded a motion after staff advised the funds could remain in general basic reserves. Several motions approving specific transfers passed by recorded voice vote of 5-0.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-06-17 Board of Supervisors Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved a series of interfund transfers and appropriation resolutions for fiscal year 2025–26, totaling millions across several funds, and tabled two transfers involving courthouse maintenance and the pilot fund pending further research.","taxTitle","taxId",3851,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6193278,"Board approves rezone for New Cooperative and advances rule allowing borrow pits as conditional use",170,640000,810000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3868016-a14ed3167b9da09add43790cf0a391f8&start=640&end=810","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3868016-a14ed3167b9da09add43790cf0a391f8/thumbnail_640000.jpg","/articles/6193278/Woodbury-County/Iowa/Board-approves-rezone-for-New-Cooperative-and-advances-rule-allowing-borrow-pits-as-conditional-use","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6193278-52a8a41ed8bdb7e94d7f14178be47149/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183220&Signature=jbpyEC1Iire8-IwvTD3rG38gFhgpc7vYJJX~IlBokg-EjV6~B8iD0Ls151aAANARnBaBCWrXtwFmzzE-SBMi8m351IMZAGpuakT8fUxobWlFgHyKj9kT1SR8yX53dhf8S7HDCOz8HOIQMghNFinZIyx-OoKhfaxWQ1DQfDrI2CEWyEPbzqNCfbJoSVz6cxO27JUYZJroN9xdTH3I2-qKiYQOsyBGUc7GY8~AXZ8hUhDxCa-Lu6chCeHP-kao26KZeKK11lL0Wmd-jhC-7d0TOVmBYZJoZsIlcz9xc3tlBK67p04EXNaVRcuAVYqwBcni9fTmut0Gu1-JFTRwGuVQVA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors approved a second reading to rezone a parcel for New Cooperative Inc. from Agricultural Preservation (AP) to General Industrial (GI) and advanced a separate zoning text amendment to classify borrow pits for earth materials as a conditional use in Agricultural Estates (AE) zoning.

Planning and zoning staff said the New Cooperative rezone is the second of three public hearings and readings required for the change. Daniel Priestley, planning and zoning, said the zoning commission reviewed the borrow‑pit issue after a board directive and recommended the text amendment on a 4-0 vote. \"They examined this... and sent you their recommendation, 4 to 0 vote, to recommend approval to change the zoning to allow for a conditional use permit for agricultural estates,\" Priestley said.

Frank Huseman, representing New Cooperative, thanked the board and offered to answer questions. Supervisors discussed reasons for the conditional-use approach for borrow pits, including notification of neighbors, haul‑route transparency, traffic control, dust control and erosion control. One supervisor said: \"Traffic control, dust control, erosion control... there shouldn't be a problem with it being done if it's done right.\"

The board closed the public hearing on the rezone and approved the second reading by a 5-0 vote. The board also received the zoning commission's final report on the borrow‑pit amendment, opened and closed the public hearing on that amendment, and approved a first reading on the text amendment by a 5-0 vote. The zoning commission and board record show the commission vote was 4-0 and the board votes were unanimous on actions recorded in the meeting.","The board approved a second reading to rezone a New Cooperative parcel from agricultural preservation to general industrial and advanced a zoning text amendment to allow borrow pits as a conditional use in agricultural estates zoning after a zoning commission recommendation.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6193283,"Woodbury County approves sale of parcel at 1724 Witcher Avenue after public bidding",102,327000,429000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3868016-a14ed3167b9da09add43790cf0a391f8&start=327&end=429","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3868016-a14ed3167b9da09add43790cf0a391f8/thumbnail_327000.jpg","/articles/6193283/Woodbury-County/Iowa/Woodbury-County-approves-sale-of-parcel-at-1724-Witcher-Avenue-after-public-bidding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6193283-562501a7a8d8bf248eac2a4aada988f4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183220&Signature=EpGhXt0KcyqwEcAL~BBQHWUXHQqR17iTmjZKhN6VdJXMjKCRz3anSfjN1tCY~~~1~eD5VkRZogxL-jp7c0h4f3XrXg1~RjxxYVJCLNfTmXi7hUVhJgZlTPwRyvbqhg9V-P-Yj6LFzbX3Y0XLXjLsxGo-8TjAroylKBe65izWqdoAW2hR4gKPWu9OUdu2v61k~Y6bdfK~mrc0IO34b31vpI5FYNFhrJQdH1XsfINt9RW1Uco784b3e4g02mVn5jlWe6BO~fV5f2Axkf4T66a497fuqrYsitGm1zEVc5x1~UFaurp8hV-IRBgrCIjfkFW7DIoup5H-~9IsFkZDHQNCcg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors approved the sale of county property identified as parcel ending in 0001 (1724 Witcher Avenue) after an open public hearing and public bidding.

Heather Van Sickle of board administration opened the public hearing and announced an opening bid of $384 based on the backup materials. Several members of the public bid on the parcel at the microphone; the transcript shows competing bids including an initial bid by Eric Thomas and subsequent bids by Scott Mugenberg. At one point the transcript records the current bid at $400 and records a later bid of $404.50.

Following the bidding, Supervisor Bittinger moved and Supervisor Nelson seconded a motion to sell the property to Scott Mugenberg. The motion passed 5-0.

Van Sickle directed the successful bidder to follow up with county staff to complete the sale process.

Human resources director Melissa Thomas told the board the change responds in part to a recent state law. \"Last Wednesday, the governor signed Senate File 383 into law,\" Thomas said. \"One of the provisions was for each script that is dispensed, there is a $10.68 fee.\" Thomas said the county's plan filled more than 13,000 prescriptions last year and that other provisions of the law will shift rebate allocation and limit plan designs that control prescription costs.

The increase is intended to cover higher pharmacy costs through the end of the calendar year; Thomas said the county will issue a request for proposals for pharmacy benefit manager services and revisit plan design on Jan. 1 if needed. \"We are also looking at an RFP for a pharmacy benefit manager and to see what they can do for us in the future,\" she said. Thomas asked the board to add an effective date of July 1, 2025, to the motion.

Supervisor [Vintinger] moved approval and Supervisor Nelson seconded. The motion passed 5-0.

County staff and supervisors noted the increase may be temporary and could be revisited depending on the results of the RFP and further analysis of how the new law affects other self-insured plans in Iowa.

Details recorded in the meeting indicate the board approved the specific employee contribution increases in the backup materials on file with the county auditor.","The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to raise employee health fund contributions effective July 1, 2025, after staff warned a recently signed state pharmacy law will increase prescription costs for the county's self-insured plan.","actionData","errors"]
