The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors voted April 28 to adopt Resolution #2026-029, authorizing the sale of county-owned parcels at 1804 Douglas Avenue and hiring a local realty firm to list the property. The motion to adopt the resolution was made by Tom Broeker and seconded by Jim Cary; unless otherwise noted in the record, motions passed unanimously.
The resolution cites the county's authority to dispose of real property under Iowa Code Section 331.361 and identifies parcels 10-25-431012, 10-25-431013 and 10-25-431014 as the properties to be listed. The resolution text selects a listing agent described in the document as "Meadows and Main Realty and Auction," though one line of the resolution contains a minor stylistic variation, "Meadow and Main Realty and Auction." The record does not specify additional listing terms or sale price parameters.
Assistant County Attorney Trent Henkelvig is listed in the meeting record as having an item on the agenda related to county legal authority; the resolution language shows county staff consulted the assistant county attorney before moving forward. The resolution states the listing contract will be signed by the board chair following adoption.
Board action on the resolution will allow county staff to proceed with a listing contract and any related sale process required under Iowa law. The meeting record does not include further details on marketing plans, minimum prices, or proposed timelines for sale.
