Iowa County board sets road-vacation hearing, reappoints deputies and approves $2,500 purchase card
Summary
At its Aug. 15 meeting the Iowa County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution setting a Sept. 19 public hearing for a road vacation, reappointed deputy and clerk positions tied to a new elected recorder and approved a $2,500 limited purchase card request.
Iowa County supervisors voted on multiple administrative items on Aug. 15, approving reappointments for deputy and clerk positions under a newly elected recorder, authorizing a $2,500 purchase card, and setting a public hearing for a proposed road vacation.
The board voted to reappoint deputies and clerks to reflect the new county recorder’s staffing requests and agreed to adjust one salary to 80% of the elected salary; another staff member’s salary was to remain at 75% of elected salary as the county shifts roles. A supervisor moved to approve the reappointments and the motion carried.
Supervisors also approved a standard limited corporate purchase card with a $2,500 limit after a motion and second; the motion carried without recorded opposition. The request was described in the meeting as a routine limited card the county issues for departmental purchasing.
On a separate motion, the board passed Resolution No. 2025-08-15 to set a public hearing on a proposed road vacation for Sept. 19 at 9:15 a.m. During discussion staff and supervisors described the proposed boundary for the vacation as beginning near the lower crossing on Little Water Crossing and extending south past a residence on the south end while retaining a level B access for field or driveway use; the road segment would remain accessible as a private drive with signage. County staff said they would publish the notice in the newspaper and mail or email landowners as required. One supervisor recommended publishing the notice the week of Sept. 3 so the hearing could be held Sept. 19 with the required publication window.
No formal vote counts or names of individual supervisors who moved and seconded the motions were recorded in the transcript. Meeting minutes and county records should be consulted for detailed roll-call votes and the final text of Resolution No. 2025-08-15.
The board also received other routine operational updates during the session, including roadwork and an assistant-to-engineer job posting, but took the formal actions listed above.
