Human resources director Becky Chapin told the board the sheriff’s department filled one of two remaining PRN corrections positions by hiring Christopher Atkinson, effective June 27, 2025. \"I would ask for a motion to approve the hiring of Christopher Atkinson effective June 27 at an hourly rate of 21 41, including authorizing the county auditors to issue biweekly paychecks for the same,\" Chapin said. The board approved the hiring by voice vote.

The board authorized the chair and auditor to sign the county recorder’s reported fees collected for June 2025 totaling $58,577.03 and approved minutes from the June 24, 2025 board proceedings for publication in the official newspapers.

Licenses and permits approved included a Class B retail native wine license for the Friends of Jackson County Conservation for the period June 19, 2025, through June 18, 2026; the meeting record includes the license approval but the transcript does not contain a complete address or fee details. The board also approved fireworks permits: one to Terry Corvada for July 4, 2025 (subject to verification of completed application materials), and one to Great River Threshers for July 11, 2025 (dusk) with a rain date of July 12, 2025. Board members approved the permits contingent on application requirements being met for the July 4 event.

The items were handled by motion and approved by voice votes recorded in the meeting minutes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Jackson County Iowa Board of Supervisors Meeting 7-1-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Jackson County Board approved the hiring of a PRN correctional officer, authorized monthly recorder receipts for signature, granted a Class B native wine license to the Friends of Jackson County Conservation, and approved two fireworks permits.","taxTitle","taxId",38127,"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},6180181,"Jackson County recorder reports $588,698 in fees for fiscal year 2025, board accepts report",215,655060,870990,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5120150-7bd6a441683900d64dceb1cba871f194&start=655&end=870","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5120150-7bd6a441683900d64dceb1cba871f194/thumbnail_655060.jpg","/articles/6180181/Jackson-County/Iowa/Jackson-County-recorder-reports-588698-in-fees-for-fiscal-year-2025-board-accepts-report","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180181-4b952bdf9804d0efff48bc0cdc0b3961/orig.mp4?Expires=1777013869&Signature=Nm-GF~BjFcVwWd240FHrsuBouaWNXxMdzdjTzjDcL6XSj2TWinCEImCZH~igNkVtiUbdCfwLx3SpTHUART31umdTO19tZahlKX5GE6jr2Wj6n-VG5BYG-ttxVTxhbeh-HGFEGDgPVWAHG-OurlUVfOITUIqORINmbK4BUo7dKvYR5VrD-nrs12FzsHQgRG6TmNBVL6BONuGhpdhov0qpQ4-H3a~-iF3KdNiQY~5bat34Rqd1ARM~m6Mpiqed~dGgBlA8-gRvYoTGorEHBbyJH2ZgsxaDSRFSebanS2BO-7SgoYc6sV179T6O42yeawZ0cdF1NknPQksaKZzFw106Jw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jackson County’s recorder presented the office’s fiscal year 2025 fee report on July 1, showing the office collected $588,698.21 in fees for the year; the board placed the report on file and authorized signatures.

\"The county fees that we retain total $162,784.46, which is an increase of $9,391.86 from last fiscal year,\" said Arlene, the county recorder, presenting the report. She said the state portion remitted to state departments was $425,913.75, for a combined total of $588,698.21, an increase of $96,728.59 from the previous fiscal year.

Arlene told the board the retained amounts reflect current charges for vitals, DNR and recording fees and that there were no fee increases this year. She also updated the board on a recorder modernization bill she said had passed the House and remained in the Senate; she said Recorder School had recommended no further amendments in the hope the Senate would pass it when it reconvenes.

Board members moved to approve the recorder’s fiscal year-end 2025 report as presented. The motion passed by voice vote.

The board later also authorized the chair and auditor to sign the county recorder’s reported fees collected for the month of June 2025 in the amount of $58,577.03, placing those receipts on file.

Arlene said she also provided a running total of office receipts for the board’s review. The meeting record does not include further details on the contents of the recorder modernization bill beyond the presenter’s summary.","The Jackson County recorder presented the office’s fiscal year 2025 fee report showing $162,784.46 retained by the county and $425,913.75 remitted to state departments; the board approved the report and authorized signatures.",{"_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},6180186,"Jackson County approves $52,000 contract for portable temporary traffic signals",407,35970,442990,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5120150-7bd6a441683900d64dceb1cba871f194&start=35&end=442","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5120150-7bd6a441683900d64dceb1cba871f194/thumbnail_35970.jpg","/articles/6180186/Jackson-County/Iowa/Jackson-County-approves-52000-contract-for-portable-temporary-traffic-signals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180186-e294275c5c88b1dd385d536d8b4dde08/orig.mp4?Expires=1777013869&Signature=ih9dRfrlFsx8fOwiK~wLJ0bKeDJf3zdq0nPJFy6Bs7UAfbnumQyLMMz1sKIqjZ7B-XCDe0YxJ5KEiMZANGrYFhzwyj6lNP34GAOHcDQva4WjX8RatTPMKxi~z~SqoviZIGhVsd3SZZih7tc~SprJ8kKc0VG694FRN7kxuW7aTPwMnX5xLDfmnQB2dAUy5kMGSTMaE-0wzTAXlenzztQvGP4UZQp7~HH1i-6l8Qugi8dJvBvuPf8R3gayOyxR~ZNYa~XEeQvNEscUdg5xrOjg2Qo7KakFLx~PplAyo4PFdUjEQSSiFnbzKYq1nvzw3-~zPsaRgnBkIOe7VSsADHAz9A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jackson County officials voted July 1 to award a $52,000 contract to OMJC Signal of Waterloo for portable temporary traffic signal trailers, funding most of the purchase with a Traffic Safety Improvement Program (TSIP) grant.

County staff said the joint application with Jones and Cedar counties for TSIP funding was successful and that the DOT had concurred with the purchase. \"We're awarding it to OMJC signal for 52,000, and I should state that our TSIP award that we received for this is up to 50,000,\" said Jaden Shekel, a county staff member presenting the quotes.

The county solicited competitive quotes and received two bids: OMJC Signal, base bid $52,000, and JTI of Dixon, Illinois, base bid $55,950. Staff reported both bids met the county's specifications and that peer counties who use OMJC had given positive feedback. Because the TSIP award covers up to $50,000, the remaining $2,000 will be split evenly among the three participating counties — Jackson, Jones and Cedar — with Jackson County’s share estimated at about $666.

The board passed resolution number 1137-01-07-01-2025 to accept the low bid and proceed with the purchase; the motion carried unanimously. Board members discussed timing and deployment: staff said the signal trailer is expected to be available by late July and that the county plans a field day to demonstrate the trailer alongside recently purchased equipment.

County staff also noted TSIP is an annual grant with applications due Aug. 15; they said Jackson County plans to submit another application this year to request paved shoulders on a future overlay project with a documented crash history.

The purchase is tied to a multi-county agreement (referenced as a 2080 agreement in the meeting) and was reported as DOT-grant funded; staff said all partner counties and DOT provided concurrence before the board voted.

The board did not set additional conditions for the purchase. The signal trailer will be used for temporary work zones to reduce the need for flaggers and to improve worker and motorist safety during road maintenance work.","The Jackson County Board approved awarding a $52,000 contract to OMJC Signal for portable temporary traffic signals after confirming the purchase meets grant specifications; the county’s TSIP grant covers up to $50,000 and the $2,000 balance will be split among three counties.","actionData","errors"]
