The Linn County Board of Supervisors recorded several formal actions and approvals during its Feb. 26 meeting at the Jean Oxley Public Service Center.

Approvals and outcomes

- Minutes: The board voted to approve the minutes of the Feb. 25 meeting. The motion carried; the transcript records an aye vote and the chair’s announcement that the motion carried.

- Claims: The board approved claims as described in the motion: accounts payable checks and ACH disbursements totaling $1,126,935.85 (accounts payable $59,931.89; ACH $1,067,003.96; plus a smaller referenced check figure in the motion text). The motion was seconded and carried.

- Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda; the chair announced the motion carried unanimously.

- Appointments: The board approved two fire district appointments: the reappointment of Russell Holtz to Fire District 1 (term expiring 12/31/2027) and the appointment of James Greif to Fire District 4 (term expiring 12/31/2027). On the Russell Holtz motion the transcript records that a commissioner later said "I'll oppose" but the motion carried; the transcript does not record a formal roll‑call tabulation. The James Greif appointment was announced as carried in the transcript.

Notes on vote records

The meeting transcript records motions, seconds and the chair’s voice votes but generally does not provide a full roll‑call showing how each supervisor voted. Where the transcript records a specific dissent or abstention, that detail is noted above; otherwise the transcript records the chair’s announcement that the motion carried or carried unanimously.
