County to close courthouse during RAGBRAI overnight stop; Public Health windows replacement approved
Summary
Buchanan County supervisors voted to close the courthouse at noon on July 23 and keep it closed July 24 for the RAGBRAI overnight stop in Independence; the Board also approved replacing leaking windows at the Public Health building at an estimated cost of $17,683.82 from capital projects.
The Buchanan County Board of Supervisors discussed courthouse operations for RAGBRAI, which will overnight in Independence on July 23 and depart July 24. Recalling precedent from 2014 when the county closed at noon the day of RAGBRAI’s arrival, the Board voted to close the courthouse at noon on July 23 and to keep the courthouse closed to the public on July 24. The minutes state that employees may use available time on the books with department head approval for those closures.
Separately, Griffin Hickey of the Public Health Department presented an estimate to replace damaged and leaking windows at the Public Health building. The Board approved proceeding with the window replacements at an estimated cost of $17,683.82 to be paid from the county’s capital projects fund.
Both motions were approved unanimously. The minutes do not record individual public comments on either item or provide vendor details for the window work beyond the cost estimate recorded in the motion.
