The Barry County Committee of the Whole voted Jan. 7 to recommend that the full Board of Commissioners adopt Resolution 25-04, which would approve the 2025–2029 Barry County Parks and Recreation Five‑Year Master Plan. The motion was made by Commissioner Bob Teunessen and supported by Commissioner David Hatfield; the committee recorded "All ayes" and the motion carried.
