Supervisors approve permits, hire and election canvas in routine votes
Summary
Winnebago County supervisors approved a Black Hills Energy utility permit to serve two homes, hired Carla Weiss as EMS project coordinator, granted a liquor license for the 'Super Bowl' establishment, canvassed a drainage-trustee election and approved auditors' claims in a series of mostly uncontested votes.
Winnebago County supervisors moved through several procedural items and routine approvals during their meeting.
Black Hills Energy utility permit: The board reviewed a permit for Black Hills Energy to install a new gas service line serving two houses near the bowling alley and across the highway. Speakers discussed whether gas service was new to those houses and whether boring under the highway would be cost-effective. The board approved the utility permit by voice vote after a motion and second.
EMS project coordinator hire: The board reviewed applications for an EMS project coordinator and approved hiring applicant Carla Weiss. Speaker 2 moved to hire Carla Weiss and Speaker 1 seconded; the board voted in favor.
Liquor license: The board approved a liquor license application for the business referred to in the record as the Super Bowl. The motion passed by voice vote.
Canvass of drainage trustee election: Supervisors canvassed and accepted the 2026 drainage trustee election results after brief discussion; the board approved the canvas by motion and voice vote.
Auditors' claims: The board considered and approved the auditors' county claims and discussed a budget transfer related to courthouse repairs and data-processing/IT expenses. Speaker 2 moved to approve the auditors' claims and Speaker 1 seconded; the board voted in favor.
Most motions passed by unanimous voice vote as recorded in the transcript; the meeting included routine administrative discussion about signatures, stamping and filing practices, and a reminder about an Iowa State Association of Counties wellness agreement DocuSign that staff was asked to verify before signing.
