Hancock County adopts eminent domain resolution, appoints compensation commission
Summary
Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2024-003 on eminent domain procedures and appointed at least 28 members to the compensation commission as required by Code of Iowa Section 6B.4, listing farmers, town property owners, realtors and property-value professionals.
The Hancock County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2024-003 concerning eminent domain proceedings on Jan. 2, 2024 and appointed the compensation commission required by Section 6B.4 of the Code of Iowa.
The resolution directs the certification of at least 28 persons to serve on a compensation commission in eminent domain proceedings; the minutes list appointees grouped by category, including farmers (for example, Brandon Beenken and L.L. Beenken listed among others), owners of town property, realtors, and professionals with knowledge of property values. The minutes state the commission appointees will be certified to the Chief Justice of the 2A District Court as required by statute.
No formal eminent domain case was recorded on the Jan. 2 minutes; the action creates the roster the county will use should an eminent domain proceeding require a compensation commission. The meeting adjourned at 10:48 a.m. with all supervisors voting aye.
