The board chair (name not provided) called the Story County Board of Supervisors to order on Tuesday, Dec. 30, 2025, and led the Pledge of Allegiance.

The chair asked for a motion to adopt the day’s agenda; a motion and a second were recorded and the chair conducted a roll call. The transcript records 'Merkin,' 'Hazel,' and 'Heddens' responding "Aye" on the agenda adoption. Later, the board considered county claims. A motion to approve the claims "as presented" was moved and seconded and the transcript records roll-call ‘aye’ responses by Faisal, Merkin and 'Edens.' The meeting record does not show names for the makers or seconders of these motions.

The chair opened two public-comment periods — one for items on the agenda and one for items not on the agenda — and closed both after noting that no members of the public were present.

Under liaison and committee updates, Supervisor Merkin reported schedule matters, saying they would be present most of the day, noted personal business the next morning and attendance at an organizational meeting on Friday and meetings in Ames the following Monday. An unidentified supervisor (speaker 3 in the transcript) said they would be present today and tomorrow, planned to attend the organizational meeting Friday and mentioned a dentist appointment on Friday. The chair announced a rescheduled dental appointment and other brief personal scheduling notes and wished colleagues a happy New Year.

With routine business complete, the chair called for a motion to adjourn. The motion and second were recorded and the roll call in the transcript shows 'Merkin,' 'Basil' (as transcribed) and 'Heddens' responding "Aye." The chair then declared the meeting adjourned.

No ordinances, resolutions, budget actions, appointments or policy decisions were discussed or voted on during the session, and no members of the public addressed the board during either public-comment period.
