The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors on March 3 approved a series of administrative items, including a proclamation declaring March 2026 as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, an agreement with MAPA for digital map products, an updated SWIJDC county IT support agreement and a farm lease with Dale Rief.
Supervisor Susan Miller moved adoption of the colorectal cancer proclamation, and Supervisor Keith Jones seconded. The proclamation highlights screening and early detection, instructs that the courthouse be illuminated in blue for March and encourages residents to wear blue on March 6. The motion passed with a 5-0 roll call vote.
Separately, Supervisor Tim Wichman moved and Supervisor Keith Jones seconded approval of an agreement with MAPA to obtain aerial photography and other digital map products for county use; the motion carried unanimously. The board also approved an updated SWIJDC — County IT Support Agreement on a motion by Wichman, seconded by Jorgensen, and authorized a farm lease with Dale Rief on a motion by Susan Miller, seconded by Jeff Jorgensen; both measures passed 5-0.
The board approved the consent agenda earlier in the meeting, which included multiple personnel hires (for example, Jessica Gard as a Disability Services Navigator, Rebecca Gilmore as a Registered Nurse in the jail, and others). Those consent items were approved after removing one listed subitem (5.A.3) from the agenda; the removal and the consent package were adopted by motion of Supervisor Miller with a second from Supervisor Jorgensen.
