Board accepts resignation of health office manager, approves payroll and acknowledges manure management updates
Summary
The board accepted Heather Johnson's resignation effective Sept. 5, approved payroll and claims, administered the oath to a hospital trustee (Nichols), and acknowledged several manure management plan updates from local facilities.
On Aug. 12 the Van Buren County Board of Supervisors accepted the resignation of Heather Johnson, full‑time local health office manager, effective Sept. 5, 2024 (motion by Richards, second by Meek; ayes: 3). The minutes state the resignation was accepted "with regrets."
The board also approved payroll (registers #43548‑43635 and #43710‑43796) and claims (#2128‑2258; Secondary Roads claims #30202‑30248). The minutes record that the Oath of Office was administered to Van Buren County Hospital Trustee identified as "Nichols"; the minutes do not provide a first name for the trustee.
The board acknowledged receipt of manure management plan updates: 4‑year updates from Larry Menke (Harrisburg ISO Pig Co LLC Facility #59814), Dennis Gratz (Merit Swine Inc Facility #60164), and Nathan, Ryan & Mark Porter (Porter Brothers Livestock Site 6 Facility #69130); and 1‑year updates from DBA Farms Partnership (DBA Farms‑Heston Site Facility #69088) and Iowa Ag Investments LLC (Facility #71752). No further action was recorded on the manure plans in the minutes.
The minutes provide roll-call votes where motions were recorded but do not include additional personnel transition details or effective dates beyond the resignation and the mechanic appointment noted elsewhere in the record.
