Summary
The Board of Supervisors approved the day's agenda, minutes, claims, several liquor licenses, the county operations budget resolution (2026‑11) and multiple administrative items including road and utility permits and personnel actions.
The Hardin County Board of Supervisors handled routine business during its April meeting, approving a slate of agenda items including liquor licenses, budget and personnel actions.
The board unanimously approved the agenda, the minutes of the April 1 meeting and claims for payment dated April 8, 2026. Supervisors approved a Class C retail alcohol license for Radcliffe Friendly Fairways effective April 15 through Dec. 14, 2026, and a Class F retail alcohol license for the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027.
The supervisors adopted Resolution 2026‑11, the county operations budget for fiscal year 2025–26, following a roll‑call vote in which members recorded unanimous support. The board also approved the Iowa DOT Hardin County five‑year construction plan and the county’s secondary‑road budget as presented; DOT staff noted Region 6 funding will cover about 80% of a slated paving project (D41) near the county home and landfill.
Other actions included approval to hire two part‑time staff in the sheriff’s office (to fill a vacancy and allow conversion to full time as needed), the conservation department’s hiring of Kurt Lambertson as a permanent part‑time administrative assistant at $18/hour (effective 04/06/2026), and a pay increase for Kendall Linneman in the health department (transcript lists $71,340; meeting participants noted the figure is intended as an annual salary and the transcript wording was unclear). The board also approved utility permit UT‑2026‑04 for a directional bore of a rural water line along S62 and acknowledged receipt of the auditor’s, recorder’s and sheriff’s reports for March.
Quote: ‘‘It’s been moved and seconded. Hearing none, all in favor, say aye,’’ the chair said repeatedly as the board recorded a series of routine approvals.
