Osceola County supervisors approve agenda changes, appoint deputies, OK gravel-extraction agreement and claims
Summary
The Osceola County Board of Supervisors approved the amended meeting agenda, passed Resolution 25 appointing sheriff deputies, accepted a gravel-extraction agreement and approved claims including a payment to a water service provider. A motion sent the board into closed session later in the meeting.
The Osceola County Board of Supervisors on an early voice vote approved changes to the meeting agenda, passed Resolution 25 appointing a chief deputy and deputies for the county sheriff, accepted a gravel extraction (pit mining) agreement and approved the listed claims, including check number 1239 to Bosman Water Service (listed in the packet with an alternate spelling). Later the board voted to enter a closed session under Iowa Code 21.5 for a requested personnel/engineer discussion.
The board approved the agenda after removing the engineer contract and engineer department review; the motion to adopt the amended agenda was made by Mister Helmers and seconded by Mister Loring and carried on a voice vote. The board then approved minutes from Jan. 21 by motion of Mister DeBoer (second by Scholte).
On Resolution 25, which the clerk presented as appointing a chief deputy and deputies for the county sheriff and county auditor, Mister Helmers moved for approval and Mister Scholte seconded; the chair called roll and recorded aye votes from Helmers, Scholte, Loring, Mister Gore and the chair, and the resolution passed. The board accepted the county’s gravel-extraction (line and pit mining) agreement by motion of Scholte with board support and recorded the motion as approved on a voice vote.
The claims docket included check number 1239 for Bosman Water Service (the packet and minutes display a second spelling as “Boswell Water Service” in places; the board approved the claims by motion of Helmers with support from Loring). At the end of the public meeting the board took a motion from Scholte, seconded by Helmers, to enter closed session under Iowa Code 21.5; the motion carried on a voice vote.
