County staff described the Rivercross and Crisis Stabilization leases as \"just an annual lease agreement\" with no substantive changes. The board approved both motions on unanimous votes.

Optimate Life Services' lease included a noted change: instead of a 12-month guaranteed period, the county and Optimate agreed to convert to month-to-month occupancy for now while state funding streams remain uncertain. A county presenter said the change reflects \"changes through the state with different funding and sources\" and that the month-to-month arrangement \"is always, like, kinda see how things shake out and what's available and who they continue in that service.\" The board voted to approve the revised Optimate lease.

No dollar amounts for the leases were discussed in the meeting transcript.

The roads update said contractor work on Highway 99 included placement of a specialized flexible lift designed to minimize reflective cracking; the county received one landowner call reporting the new mat felt unusually flexible in high temperatures. The director explained that given moisture in underlying soils and the heat, \"there was little pockets where steam was trying to escape and kinda like little bubbles\" and that this behavior is consistent with the product in those conditions. He told the board he did not expect the condition to reduce the layer's long-term performance and encouraged the public to report observed anomalies.

Work on Minneapolis Road had previously used the same material with satisfactory results, the director said. Projects on Danville Road and Gear Avenue are progressing: approaches are completed, railings and small concrete items remain, and an opening for the Dura contractor is expected in mid-July, though heat has slowed crews.

The board heard that Seven Ponds Road (referred to in the meeting as \"7 Ponds Road\") is especially difficult because the roadbed is in very poor condition; the county removed shouldering from the contractor's scope and plans to perform lighter-weight shoulder work internally and with borrowed equipment to limit edge loading on the new pavement.

Staff also reported soil borings were completed at the Beaverdale Road bridge site and the county's consultant re-submitted a federal grant application after prior program pauses; the county hopes the grant could cover 80% of an estimated $1.2 million bridge job if awarded.

The board discussed an insurance claim and budget amendment to cover a destroyed robotic survey instrument (a \"total station\") that a trailer knocked over at an intersection; the replacement was paid by insurance but county accounting authority is being adjusted so the expense and revenue match.

Supervisors and staff reminded the public to report pavement failures promptly, especially during hot, humid weather, and to call dispatch or 911 for time-sensitive hazards. The board did not take a formal vote on new road policy at the meeting but accepted the briefing and instructed staff to continue project oversight.

Quotes in the briefing came from Secondary Roads staff and were recorded in the meeting transcript.","County roads officials reported on asphalt work along Highway 99, problems tied to heat and underlying pavement, progress on Danville and Gear bridges, a difficult Seven Ponds Road repair, and a pending federal grant application for a Beaverdale Road bridge.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6151672,"Des Moines County approves ICAP renewal, increases cyber limit and considers property deductible option",859,1891000,2750000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5501494-100ca6e8683f515ef3636f3162da9db5&start=1891&end=2750","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5501494-100ca6e8683f515ef3636f3162da9db5/thumbnail_1891000.jpg","/articles/6151672/Des-Moines-County/Iowa/Des-Moines-County-approves-ICAP-renewal-increases-cyber-limit-and-considers-property-deductible-option","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6151672-99bdcd1adbcbf3208e507f2a6acc078d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775180277&Signature=laez8s3dVpjw4NY32qEWXch34ThNBlcNqVugcJCxIfu1yFpPOylrc9d0BgyPW6V3Mnx3qJRSxs5RpUCq-VKnrH0jBGaCgDxgzaWfVjlS1H5074P8I~xqdaobhw0f9iVqXls4ZFjmAc1gIffdYVir4XXkTtR43AXbNNMErA4jJqM68OoNHTPmNXYewZ5eypiqkGu8AJ26hGndszc2T1D8f7Feedh3skTFuMEaqT9fRY4EllekDzAoU-o0OKgLQ3dOy3ORCFdG3DtkfSdjPzk9Fc6g2x8Op68~de8SUR9FvrVjhrsQHV31sEo2we45xCeeREgnpV5qtKm5OQRtlS9rAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors voted June 24 to accept the county's insurance renewal proposal with ICAP and adopted two recommended provisions: increase the county's cyber insurance aggregate to $1 million and consider a consolidated property deductible option intended to reduce contribution costs.

An insurance adviser for the county told the board the as-is renewal reflected an 8.5% year-over-year increase but that market conditions had improved from the prior year. The presenter said increasing the cyber aggregate to $1 million would raise sublimits for common loss items (for example, cybercrime and social-engineering losses) and recommended the county adopt the larger cyber limit because \"these cyber events are becoming very, very expensive.\"

The adviser also presented a property-deductible option that would replace various lower deductibles across county buildings with a $20,000 \"all other\" per-occurrence deductible. The presenter noted the county currently has a 2% wind-and-hail deductible that is capped at $300,000 for any single event; the courthouse was cited as having a replacement-value estimate of about $20 million and a 2% event would equal approximately $400,000 without the $300,000 cap.

Board discussion included vehicle-deductible limits and the frequency of structure revaluations. The adviser said building values are typically reappraised every 5 to 10 years and that ICAP had updated values previously when market conditions warranted. The adviser also reported the county saved roughly $2,500 because an agency fee was removed at renewal.

Supervisor Jim Carey moved to accept the renewal with the two provisions highlighted in the adviser's recommendations (increase cyber limit and the property-deductible option). The motion passed on a unanimous roll call.

After the vote county staff said the insurer will issue a revised invoice for the county to sign. The board did not make changes to vehicle deductibles at the meeting, noting staff would follow up if further adjustments were needed.

The board's decision authorizes staff to finalize the ICAP renewal consistent with the accepted options and to present final paperwork for signature.","The board approved the county's ICAP insurance renewal and accepted staff recommendations to boost cyber coverage to $1 million while discussing property deductible options intended to reduce contribution costs.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6151677,"Des Moines County board approves FY25 budget amendments and adopts 2026 appropriation",358,1122000,1480000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5501494-100ca6e8683f515ef3636f3162da9db5&start=1122&end=1480","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5501494-100ca6e8683f515ef3636f3162da9db5/thumbnail_1122000.jpg","/articles/6151677/Des-Moines-County/Iowa/Des-Moines-County-board-approves-FY25-budget-amendments-and-adopts-2026-appropriation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6151677-afbe09d5b184a0312eaf344dc7229e63/orig.mp4?Expires=1775180277&Signature=SRXOGaOmZ3s~lDzTyC0QWJptZQ8k61Mm6svoXkXms4XfGtLT2Nleeip7ywpCb~k3Ze6X899u-N6hwEmyucp12rhg0vVzvD8Y2oJiFpy-Ju-t49MMmwqNuVsDAuAz-WfYNn2C0Q6wMnl4yeik2CMnJDojLt34XrT2WxW1O5UUIrmgP0Jb6d6tr5frZrVHEd4JFE3aegZQxCS3HI6S7zWsVUDk9BlxlfuSkJ4Gm1jLqrBulouYNZQSCLgz35H1UZ7GjS1e2NnlI4dXtQTHIu8l7V1N0mMXkFm5BA7i80SHM5qrI9MEuso1rBh07x0rgcrrFXueKDfb75tJ6krZXp7h4A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors on June 24 opened a public hearing and unanimously approved FY25 budget amendments that move department funds within their own accounts and do not increase property taxes. Supervisor Jim Carey moved approval; the motion passed on a 3-0 vote.

County officials told the board two departments requested amendments: Conservation asked for $7,200 for a community water line and Secondary Roads requested $30,000 to cover replacement survey equipment that was destroyed at a work site and reimbursed by insurance. County staff also outlined repairs to South Gear Avenue totaling multiple items listed as $75,000, $65,100 and $77,200. The board said all funds come from department accounts and do not affect the general fund or tax levy.

“Anyone in public, we’ll give them 2 minutes to respond,” the board chair said during the hearing. After public comment the board closed the hearing and moved to approve the FY25 amendments. Supervisor Jim Carey moved to approve the FY25 budget amendment and the motion was seconded; Tom Brooker and Shane McCampbell voted yes along with Carey.

Later in the meeting the board considered and approved the 2026 appropriation schedule. The resolution set total appropriations at $41,096,855 for fiscal 2026 and passed on a unanimous roll call vote.

The board-approved budget changes included administrative bookkeeping to transfer budget authority between categories within departments so that insurance reimbursements and project overruns are matched with corresponding spending authority. County staff stated those transfers are internal and will not change taxpayer obligations.

The supervisors also approved routine claims and accounts payable during the meeting and finalized other consent items after the budget actions.

The board did not adopt new tax rates during the hearing; county staff said the amendments use department funds only and will not increase the general fund or property taxes.","The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing June 24 and voted unanimously to approve several FY25 budget amendments that do not affect the general fund, and later adopted the county's 2026 appropriation schedule.","actionData","errors"]
