Mills County supervisors approve consent agenda, liquor licenses and $10,000 for Golden Hills

MILLS COUNTY — The Mills County Board of Supervisors approved a slate of routine actions at its meeting, including the consent agenda, liquor-license renewals, a community donation and a transit participation agreement.

The board approved the consent agenda, which included minutes from the May 26, 2026 meeting, the treasurer's report, jail and permits reports, the recorder report and accounts payable. A motion to approve the consent agenda was made and seconded and approved by voice vote (tally not specified).

Supervisors approved an annual Class C retail liquor license renewal for Bellator and a five-day special Class C license for Best Nest Farms for a June 28 event. "Best Nest Fest" was listed as the event date during discussion.

On community funding, the board discussed a request from Golden Hills for $15,000 in fiscal year 2027 support and moved to budget $10,000 from local-option sales tax community betterment funds. A supervisor said the amount was to "get it on the books so we can budget it;" the motion to provide $10,000 carried (vote tally not specified).

The board also approved the annual joint participation agreement for the rural transit system for FY27, committing $6,000 in county funds toward regional transit coordination. During that discussion a supervisor noted that multi-year match requirements from the state can substantially raise local match obligations in later years.

Other actions taken included approving the placement of a courthouse-lawn tree by motion and announcing a personnel appointment: the conference board appointed Michelle Wallers (starting Friday) as the new county assessor. The board also approved shredding of 2024 primary voted materials after the retention period expired.

Most motions were carried by voice vote; specific roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript provided.

The board adjourned at 9:00 a.m.
