Crawford County supervisors certify 2024–25 property tax levies; approve liquor license and trustee resignation
Summary
The Crawford County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 13 unanimously adopted Resolution 2024-29 certifying property tax levies for 2024–25 and directed the county auditor to collect the levies. The board also approved a liquor license for Wine Time LLC, accepted a trustee resignation and reviewed a year-end budget recap.
The Crawford County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted Resolution 2024-29 on Aug. 13, 2024, certifying property tax levies for the 2024–25 year and directing the county auditor to issue a warrant to the county treasurer to collect those levies.
The resolution, introduced by Supervisor Schultz and seconded by Supervisor Muhlbauer, formally sets the levy schedule that lists rates by city, rural district, township and school district. The resolution language states, in part, “RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Crawford County Iowa, that the following taxes be and hereby are levied in dollars and cents for the 2024-2025 year,” and instructs the county auditor to proceed with collection.
Why it matters: The certified levies determine the tax rates charged to property owners across municipal and rural districts as well as school and county components. The board reviewed a detailed levy table showing per-district totals and component lines (county, assessor, school, township, city and other charges) before voting.
At the meeting, the board also heard a year-end budget recap from Chuck Ettleman, covering fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. No formal amendments to the levy certification were recorded during the discussion; the board proceeded to the vote after review of the tables.
Votes at a glance: • Resolution 2024-29, "Resolution Certifying Taxes Payable 2024-2025" — motion by Schultz; second by Muhlbauer; outcome: approved unanimously (Aye: Schultz, Dozark, Heiden, Muhlbauer, Rosburg). • Liquor license for Wine Time, LLC — motion by Schultz; second by Dozark; outcome: approved unanimously. • Resignation of Henry Bliesman, Trustee, Union Township — approved (motion recorded; vote unanimous). • Recognition and approval of department claims, including Public Health Department claims — approved (motion recorded; vote unanimous).
The meeting record includes detailed levy tables covering city districts, rural districts, townships, school district levies and county totals; those tables were entered into the record as part of the certification process. The board also reviewed and approved vendor claims listed in the minutes with a stated total of $760,618.44 across funds (examples listed in the record include General Basic $100,074.23; Secondary Road $247,401.56; Self-Insurance $294,348.99).
