Des Moines County supervisors approve payroll reimbursements and $3M-plus accounts-payable batch
Summary
The board approved payroll reimbursement claims and a large accounts-payable batch that included settlement items tied to the former Southeast Iowa mental-health region; members also approved various routine appointments and personnel items.
The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors voted to approve payroll reimbursement claims and a large accounts-payable batch presented in the meeting packet.
The payroll reimbursement item included $258.98 in reimbursements and $99.26 in noncash taxable items; a board member moved to approve and the board voted in favor.
The board then considered accounts payable totaling the amount shown in the packet (transcript lists $3,000,677.949 and 77¢ and $92,249.38 in wire transfers). A board member explained that part of the payment related to the county’s role as fiscal agent for the now-closed Southeast Iowa mental-health region and that remaining checks and balances were being finalized with the treasurer’s office. The motion to approve the accounts payable passed.
The board also approved a slate of routine personnel and appointment items: the reappointment of Sam Warner to the Zoning Board of Adjustment, the reappointment to the Veterans Affairs Commission, approval of Joe DeJesus to the Civil Service Commission, acceptance of the resignation of correctional officer Chantelle Dougherty (effective Jan. 25, 2026), approval of meeting minutes for Jan. 13, 2026, and certification of the 2 Rivers Revenue Drainage District election results (Travis Holstein and Colin Wagenbach each received 13 votes and were declared winners).
Why it matters: the approvals authorize disbursements and personnel changes that keep county operations running and finalize fiscal-agency obligations related to the former mental-health region.
Provenance: payroll reimbursement discussion and vote began at SEG 264 and the accounts-payable discussion and vote at SEG 277; appointments and personnel actions ran from SEG 360 through SEG 756.
