Carroll County supervisors held an organizational meeting to approve the agenda and minutes and to make a slate of routine appointments and resolutions that set leadership and intergovernmental representation for 2026.

The board appointed Scott Johnson as temporary chair and later named Eugene Meiners (transcript also shows variant spelling "Gene Miners") as permanent chair for calendar year 2026; Scott Johnson was also appointed vice chair. Supervisors also approved a wide set of committee and regional-board assignments, naming representatives to bodies including the Region 12 Council of Governments, the Carroll County Joint 911 Service Board, and various watershed and tourism authorities.

On resolutions, the board approved several routine measures by voice or roll call votes, including a resolution relating to special moving permits, a resolution on fixed county charges, a resolution authorizing destruction of records, and a resolution designating official county newspapers. The board also approved Resolution 2026-001, described in the meeting as the first resolution of the year to enable county participation in a construction evaluation related to hog confinement operations; the resolution was moved, seconded, and approved by roll call.

Other formal actions included approval of the 2026 holiday schedule and approval of a plat in Eden Township for Rick Scholtes. The board addressed vacancies and reappointments on the county ambulance board and other local commissions, and approved a replacement on the county condemnation compensation commissioners following the recent death of a member.

The meeting proceeded by a series of motions that were moved, seconded and approved; where the transcript records only vocal approval, the minutes-style outcome is reported as "motion carried." The board adjourned after completing the agenda.
