Summary
At the March 31 meeting the Mitchell County Board of Supervisors set public hearings for a property vacation (Little Cedar) and the FY2027 budget, approved a Home‑Based Iowa allocation, and granted an extension for an infill project to Aug. 1.
The Mitchell County Board of Supervisors on March 31 set a public hearing to vacate property in Little Cedar and scheduled the FY2027 county budget hearing while approving a Home‑Based Iowa allocation and granting an infill-application extension.
Chair (speaker 2) announced the board would set a public hearing to vacate the Little Cedar property on April 21, 2026, at 8:45 a.m.; the motion carried by roll call. County Attorney (speaker 3) explained the vacation item corrects a legal description in a prior action and said the correction is "just correct[ing] the legal description," noting a small parcel between split alleys had been missed in earlier paperwork.
The board also set the FY2027 county budget public hearing for April 21, 2026, at 9 a.m. and approved that motion by roll call.
On agenda items, the board approved a Home‑Based Iowa allocation previously passed by the MCEDC and moved to pass the full base allocation. Board members also approved an infill-application extension for Susan Bergenholt, extending the contract to Aug. 1 to allow the applicant additional time to finish interior work.
Why it matters: The public hearings will allow residents to comment before final action on the property vacation and the county budget; the Home‑Based Iowa allocation and infill-extension are local development actions that affect housing and economic incentives.
What’s next: The board instructed staff to publish hearing notices and to bring any additional related materials back to the board for consideration.
