Supervisors approved nearly $600,000 in claims, a minor subdivision final plat in the Kingston area, two Class C liquor licenses, and four conservation personnel actions; minutes and the veterans' monthly report were also placed on file.
Des Moines County supervisors approved routine business including claims, permits and personnel during their regular meeting.
Accounts payable: The board approved accounts payable claims totaling $597,375.56 (checks $361,781.35; wire and other payments $235,594.21). A motion to approve was made and carried (board roll-call recorded affirmatives) (SEG 278–SEG 295).
Robson subdivision final plat: Planning staff (Jared) described a minor subdivision near Kingston Ferry that splits nearly an 80-acre farm to create a 4-acre building parcel with about 3 acres of buildable area and a 66-foot flag stem for road access; the resolution includes the standard condition that a septic permit must be obtained and installed through the health department. The resolution passed on motion (SEG 296–SEG 320).
Liquor licenses: The board approved a Class C license for Flint Hills Municipal Golf Course (KG Capital Tax Service) and a Class C license for Myers Wedding Barn (Adams wedding, June 2026) after brief motions and seconding (SEG 333–SEG 366).
Personnel and other items: The board approved four conservation personnel actions: two new conservation interns (Grant Swanson at $16.50/hour and Kendall Coulter at $15.50/hour, both effective May 19, 2026) and step increases for Tanner Gebhardt and Brian Havener with new annual rates and effective dates noted in the personnel list (SEG 367–SEG 401). The veterans' affairs monthly report (April 2026) was placed on file and the minutes from the April 28, 2026 meeting were approved (SEG 402–SEG 416).
Board procedure and next steps: These approvals were handled as routine agenda items; the board then opened public input and a substantive work session on industrial/regulatory policy (see separate coverage).
