Kossuth County officials plan to cancel next week’s meeting; public hearings set for July 17
Summary
Kossuth County meeting participants agreed to cancel next week’s meeting because several staff will be absent, confirmed a schedule of public hearings and noted no decisions were reached in closed session. The board adjourned unanimously at 12:07 p.m.
Unnamed Speaker 1, a meeting participant, announced the record showed no decisions were made during the closed session and the group returned to open session.
Participants discussed whether to hold next week’s regular meeting and agreed to cancel it because county staff members Amber and Carter would be absent. Unnamed Speaker 2 said the forthcoming agenda included routine items and transfers and left the choice to the group; Unnamed Speaker 4 recommended canceling and “pushing everything back.” The group consented to skip the meeting.
The participants reviewed items scheduled for July 17 and confirmed multiple public hearings: an 8:00 a.m. public hearing on an amended zoning ordinance extending a moratorium on solar; an 8:05 a.m. continued completion hearing for Drainage District 60, Sub 4; and a 10:00 a.m. improvement hearing for Drainage District 4, Lot 11. A participant asked Kyle to contact Bolton and Nick about drainage matters related to those hearings.
The meeting also included updates about Care Connections: an attendee said Beau Miller had applied and been accepted as a delegate from Kossuth County to a newly formed advisory council related to behavioral health (referred to in the transcript as a “behavior” advisory council). The group noted the advisory council representative was a positive development for the county.
No formal actions on ordinance changes or the drainage hearings were recorded in the transcript excerpt. The only formal motion recorded in the excerpt was to adjourn. Supervisor Stecker moved to adjourn; Supervisor Wagner seconded. The motion carried on a unanimous voice vote and the meeting was adjourned at 12:07 p.m.
The transcript excerpt also includes a procedural statement that the record would reflect no decisions were made in closed session. No other votes, ordinance numbers, or funding amounts were specified in the excerpt.
