The Mills County Board of Supervisors approved the second reading of Ordinance 26-01, which would create Chapter 20 of the county code establishing rules for "Adult Dependent Facilities," at its May 19 meeting in Glenwood. Supervisor Lonnie Mayberry moved the measure and Supervisor Jack Sayers seconded; the motion carried on a 2-0 vote. Chair Richard Crouch was recorded as absent.
The ordinance, described in the motion as the county's framework for adult dependent facilities, advanced to a third reading but the board tabled final adoption until its next meeting. The minutes do not record the ordinance's full text, specific operational requirements, or any proposed effective date.
During public comment, Troy Granger said he had concerns about an adult day care facility located near his home; the minutes record the concern but do not include further detail or a staff response. Chris Weide also asked questions about the newly appointed county assessor; the minutes note the questions but do not specify answers or follow-up steps.
Mills County Engineer Jacob Ferro updated the board on ongoing projects and reported minimal storm damage. Ferro announced a public meeting about proposed sealcoating for Deacon Road on May 20, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Annex.
The board’s action on the ordinance was procedural: second reading approved (Mayberry moved; Sayers seconded), third reading and formal adoption were tabled for a subsequent meeting.
