The Chickasaw County Board of Supervisors recorded several formal actions at the Feb. 3 meeting. This summary lists each formal motion, the stated mover/second where indicated, and the recorded outcome using language from the meeting record.
Rate increase for sheriff employee A motion was made by Supervisor Steve (mover) and seconded by Supervisor Scott to acknowledge and approve a retroactive rate increase for Lindsay Modger in the sheriff's dispatch/monitoring position effective Jan. 22, 2025. The board took voice vote; the clerk called for ayes and the motion carried. The minutes record the motion as approved.
Class C retail alcohol license: New Hampton Golf and Country Club A motion to approve a 12-month Class C retail alcohol license for New Hampton Golf and Country Club (term cited as April 1 to March 30) was made and seconded during the meeting. The board voted in favor by voice; supervisors recorded the motion as carried.
Sheriff's participation in dealer loan/demo program (ATV/UTV program) Supervisors considered a sheriff's department request to participate in a dealer/loan program (described in the record as a Kawasaki/dealer program where the dealer provides a vehicle with rebates and the company may swap units during a program term). A motion to approve participation was made by Supervisor Isaac and seconded by Supervisor Steve. The clerk called the roll: the transcript records "Isaac? I am. Steve: I am. Travis: I am." The record shows "No. Scott. No. Jake, no." The board recorded the outcome in the minutes as the motion passing (majority in favor) and staff were directed to notify the sheriff's office.
Chippewa County (BRSC) bridge replacement contract award The board reviewed an Iowa DOT-let bid package for a bridge replacement (project code listed as BRSC 019117-EJ-19, structure over Spring Creek). County staff recommended awarding the contract to K Construction Inc. in the amount of $462,557.64. The board moved to award the project and approved Resolution 2-3-25-03 to authorize contract signing; the clerk recorded roll-call consent during the resolution vote.
