Hardin County officials approve emergency notification renewal, appoint township trustee and approve utility permit
Summary
Hardin County officials approved a renewal of an emergency notification support agreement (scope to be verified), appointed Mitchell Moshe as Ellis Township trustee, approved utility permit UT 202506 for Interstate Power and Light (Alliant Energy), and approved a personnel status change in the auditor's office.
Hardin County officials approved several routine agenda items, renewed a license and support agreement for the county's emergency notification system and took a series of personnel and permitting actions during a regularly scheduled meeting.
The board voted to renew the emergency notification system license and support agreement after a brief exchange about its scope. Speaker 2 asked whether the contract applies countywide or only to courthouse staff, noting the contract language lists "normal business hours support" and refers to an "annual basic tier support for small site organizations." Speaker 1 said staff would verify the scope; the renewal was approved by voice vote.
The board appointed Mitchell Moshe to fill a vacancy as Ellis Township trustee. Speaker 2 moved the appointment and Speaker 1 seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. The transcript does not show Moshe speaking during the meeting.
Officials approved utility permit UT 202506 for Interstate Power and Light. During discussion Speaker 2 asked why the permit lists Interstate Power and Light when the company is commonly known as Alliant Energy and asked that the record clarify ownership and naming. Speaker 1 noted that supporting documentation had been emailed. After the clarification request the permit was approved by voice vote.
The board also approved a change of status in the auditor's office for Michelle Pervis, making her a full-time employee with an increased salary rate of $20.50 following completion of a six-month probationary period. Speaker 2 moved the change of status and Speaker 1 seconded; the motion carried by voice vote.
Other routine items approved included the day's agenda, minutes of April 9, 2025, and claims for payment. The transcript shows the claims item described as "$4.16 $20.25," which appears garbled; the exact claims amount was not clarified on the record.
The meeting record does not include roll-call tallies for votes; motions were carried by voice votes recorded as "aye."
