The Johnson County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a slate of routine administrative items during its Dec. 26 meeting, including the auditor’s claim register, the formal meeting minutes, payroll authorization forms and the county recorder’s November fee report. The board also approved two Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) pre-construction agreements.

The board moved to approve the auditor’s claim register as presented; the motion was recorded as “Moved by Green Douglas, second by Fixmerize,” and the roll call recorded ayes by Porter, Fixmerize, Sullivan, Green and Green Douglas. The chair declared the motion carried.

The board then approved the formal meeting minutes (moved by Green, second by Green Douglas) and a payroll authorization form submitted by department heads and elected officials (moved by Fixmerize, second by Green Douglas); both passed on unanimous roll-call votes.

Under business from the county auditor, Ward presented the county recorder’s reported fees for November 2024: total fees collected $218,364.27, of which $147,721.39 were fees to the state and $70,643.88 were fees to the county (reported by county recorder Kim Painter). The board voted to receive and accept the report by roll call vote.

The board approved two Iowa Department of Transportation pre-construction agreements for primary road projects, recorded as agreement numbers 2025-CD-010 and 2025-CD-009. The motions and roll-call votes show those approvals but the meeting record does not include contract dollar amounts or further project specifications.

Votes at a glance: yes votes were recorded by the five-member board on each item; no, abstain or recusal votes were not recorded on these items. The meeting did not record any defeated motions or amendments to the items listed.

The board adjourned after a series of supervisor remarks and farewell comments for departing Supervisor Royceann.
