Supervisors report Urban County Coalition updates and watch state pipeline legislation; potential legislative holds noted
Summary
Supervisors discussed Urban County Coalition (UCC) legislative updates, noting that a pipeline bill could affect the state budget process; they also said the pipeline project had been rerouted out of Johnson County but that a state senator might seek a hearing that could delay the budget.
Board members briefly discussed state and legislative issues during the work session, reporting that Johnson County’s Urban County Coalition (UCC) has been monitoring pending legislation affecting the county.
A supervisor said the pipeline project had been rerouted out of Johnson County but noted a report on Iowa Public Radio that a Republican senator planned to hold up the state budget if there was not a hearing on a pipeline-related bill, a move that could affect statewide appropriations. Supervisors said county representatives in Des Moines were on standby and that leadership was controlling the tax and appropriations bills closely.
The county’s UCC representatives said they would follow developments; supervisors did not take formal positions or votes during the work session.
