The Jasper County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously set public hearings on two rezoning requests and approved routine administrative business.
Supervisor Talsma moved and Supervisor Cupples seconded a motion to set public hearings for parcel #13.23.300.018 (5911 Hwy S-74 S, Newton) to rezone from agricultural to rural residential (RR1) on June 16, June 23 and July 7, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. in the Jasper County Board of Supervisors room. The motion passed with the recorded votes Yea: Cupples, Nearmyer, Talsma.
By the same motion pattern (Talsma moved; Cupples seconded), the board set public hearings for parcel #06.10.100.020 to rezone from agricultural to rural residential large lot (RR5) on the same dates and times; that motion also passed unanimously.
The board approved claims paid through June 2, 2026 on a motion by Talsma, seconded by Cupples. The board also approved the Board of Supervisors minutes from May 26, 2026 and approved special meeting minutes from May 26, 2026 (employee evaluation), each by motions moved by Talsma and seconded by Cupples; all motions passed with unanimous recorded votes.
County Engineer Mike Frietsch informed the board he would be sending a Letter of Financial Commitment for an RCE grant application; the transcript records that no board action was taken on that item. The meeting was then adjourned following a motion by Talsma and second by Cupples.
What comes next: The posted public hearing dates give property owners and residents three opportunities (June 16, June 23 and July 7, 2026 at 9:30 a.m.) to attend and comment on the rezoning proposals before the board; any final rezoning action would follow the public hearing process.
