The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors approved routine financial and personnel actions during its Aug. 5 meeting, including accounts payable claims totaling $1,539,107.48 and reimbursement claims totaling $760.80.

The approvals matter because they authorize county expenditures and personnel appointments for core services.

The board approved an accounts payable claim in the amount of $1,539,107.48 after a motion and second were offered. Supervisors also approved reimbursement claims totaling $760.80. The meeting record shows roll‑call affirmations by the supervisors.

On personnel matters, the board approved new hires and personnel changes, including the hiring of Alyssa Elation Moody as a part‑time cook at the correctional center at a starting wage of $16.80 per hour. The board also approved Local Health staff unpaid time for the pay period ending July 31, 2025; those personnel actions were recorded and placed on file.

Separately, the board approved Resolution No. 2025‑39 designating the county’s voting representatives for the Iowa State Association of Counties (ISAC).
