Summary
Staff asked supervisors to schedule a Johnson County stop on the Iowa State Association of Counties (ISAC) '99 tour' and suggested April or May for a two‑hour town hall. Supervisors also discussed joint meetings scheduling with municipalities, upcoming department head evaluations and calendar items for September.
Board office staff asked supervisors Aug. 27 whether Johnson County will host a two‑hour ISAC town-hall stop as part of the association’s statewide series. Staff suggested spring dates (April or May) to avoid winter weather and to allow budget-related work to conclude; supervisors asked staff to propose specific Wednesday afternoon dates and to refine the session’s agenda once a date is confirmed.
Supervisors also discussed scheduling joint meetings with cities and noted the county has a confirmed joint meeting with the City of Iowa City on Sept. 2 to review a shared housing study; staff said the county would coordinate meeting minutes and logistics with Iowa City. The Board reviewed an upcoming calendar: a formal meeting Aug. 28, a tentatively scheduled joint meeting Sept. 2, work sessions on Sept. 3 and 10, and a formal evening meeting and CJCC session on Sept. 11. Human Resources noted conflict-of-interest guidance and upcoming board participation in department head evaluations scheduled through October and November.
Why it matters: outreach and joint meetings coordinate county-city policy work (for example, housing and infrastructure studies) and ensure county presence in statewide ISAC programming.
What’s next: staff will propose April/May dates for the ISAC town hall and will finalize logistics for the Sept. 2 joint meeting and the department head evaluation schedule.
