Wapello County supervisors on May 20, 2025, approved a slate of resolutions and an appointment that county officials said adjust the county budget, set next fiscal year appropriations and create a fund for shared law-enforcement capital projects.
The board opened a public hearing on a 2024–25 budget amendment covering sheriff's department expenses, law enforcement, maintenance, information technology and non-departmental claims, then closed the hearing and approved Resolution 352025, the budget amendment. County staff said some IT costs, including an upgrade to the county’s AS/400 system, would be paid from local option sales tax and that additional health-fund amendments might be needed before the end of the fiscal year.
The board also approved Resolution 332025, the appropriation resolution for fiscal year 2025–26; Resolution 342025 setting elected-official annual compensation; and multiple transfers from the general supplemental fund to the employee health fund (Resolutions 322025 and 3725). Supervisors approved a quarterly transfer to the secondary roads fund (Resolution 312025) and accepted the auditors’ third-quarter cash report for fiscal year 2024–25.
The board appointed John Klukonic to the Board of Adjustments and approved a number of departmental purchases and authorizations, including an authorization request to upgrade to an IBM Power10 server and a purchase for a prosecutors’ case-management system. The board approved establishment of a separate law-enforcement capital improvements fund to collect shared contributions for major repairs and equipment such as air-conditioning systems.
