The Adair County Board of Supervisors approved a property tax-suspension request and set a public hearing on a county ordinance during its Feb. 25, 2026 meeting.
Treasurer Brenda Wallace presented a request to suspend taxes for a property owner who became eligible for Medicaid for employed people with disabilities in October 2025. On a motion by Baier, seconded by Hoadley, the board approved the tax suspension; Supervisor Wedemeyer recorded a dissenting vote. The motion carried 4–1.
The board also set a public hearing for the first reading of Ordinance 40 — titled "An Ordinance Repealing the Ordinance Regulating the Placement of Hazardous Liquid Pipeline on Property Located in the Unincorporated Areas of Adair County, Iowa" — on a motion by Wedemeyer, seconded by Baier. The motion to set the hearing passed.
Additionally, the board acknowledged receipt of the county's FY25 audit (motion by Wedemeyer, seconded by Baier). These administrative items were handled as part of the regular session's consent and business agenda.
