Summary
The Des Moines County Board approved accounts payable totaling $597,375.56, a minor subdivision (Robson plat), two Class C liquor licenses and four conservation department personnel actions during routine business; votes recorded in the transcript are listed with available roll‑call responses.
The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors approved the day’s routine business, including payment of claims, land‑use approval for a minor subdivision, liquor licenses and several personnel actions.
The board considered accounts payable of $597,375.56 (checks $361,781.35; wire transfers $235,594.21). A motion to approve was made, seconded and recorded as carried; the transcript records affirmative votes (for example, Jim Carey and Tom Roper were recorded voting ‘yes’ during roll call).
The board adopted a resolution approving the Robson minor subdivision (described by Jared Lassiter as a roughly 80‑acre farm splitting off a 4‑acre house lot with a 66‑foot flag stem), with the standard condition that a septic system be permitted and installed per health‑department rules.
Two Class C liquor licenses were approved: Flint Hills Municipal Golf Course and Meijer's Wedding Barn (for a June 2026 event). No concerns were raised during those agenda items.
Personnel actions for the Conservation Department were approved together: hires for conservation interns Grant Swanson (starting 05/19/2026 at $16.50/hour) and Kendall Coulter (starting 05/19/2026 at $15.50/hour); a step increase for Tanner Geghardt to $53,081.78 (effective May 16); and a step increase for Brian Havner to $46,533.78 (effective May 12). The board moved and approved the package of four personnel items.
The Veterans Affairs monthly report for April 2026 was placed on file and minutes from the April 28, 2026 regular meeting were approved.
The transcript records motions, seconders and affirmative roll‑call confirmations, but does not present a complete, line‑by‑line roll‑call tally for every item. Where roll‑call names appear in the record, those names are noted below; full roll‑call details should be obtained from the official minutes if needed.
