Supervisors approve year‑end fund transfers and move to closed session on real estate
Summary
The board approved multiple year-end fund transfers totaling several million dollars across telecommunications, roads, debt service and urban renewal funds, accepted claims, and voted to enter closed session under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(j) to discuss real estate.
The Webster County Board of Supervisors approved a series of fiscal‑year‑end transfers and other routine year‑end business, then voted to enter closed session to discuss real estate under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(j).
Among the transfers the board approved by voice vote were: a $210,450 transfer from general supplemental to the telecommunications fund (FY24–25); $1,610,917 from the rural basic fund to secondary roads (FY24–25); $90,000 from general basic to general supplemental; $496,500 from general basic to debt service; $50,002 from general supplemental to debt service; $1,031,700 from the urban renewal fund to debt service; $536,100 from LOST to debt service; and $744,875 from urban renewal to the general basic fund. The board also allowed claims and then entered closed session under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(j) to discuss real estate matters.
A county official characterized the transfers as routine year‑end steps: “Just wanna let you know that these are just common ones we do at the end of the fiscal year,” a county staff member said during discussion. Another supervisor noted the transfers reflected funds already budgeted and scheduled.
All motions were approved by voice vote during the meeting. After those votes, the board recessed briefly and then took the meeting into closed session to discuss real estate as authorized by state statute.
