Audubon County sets public hearing on reserve deputy program; sheriff reports background checks for Ragbrai temporary license
Summary
Sheriff Todd Johnson briefed the Board of Supervisors on a proposed Reserve Deputy Program ordinance and ran background checks for a temporary liquor license for SINGLESPEED BREWING CO. for Ragbrai; the board approved a publication notice for a hearing and also approved a WINETIME license.
Audubon County Sheriff Todd Johnson told the Board of Supervisors on June 16 that the sheriff’s office submitted a proposed ordinance to establish a Reserve Deputy Program and that the board should publish notice for a public hearing to consider the program.
The board approved publication of the public hearing notice by motion (Hansen/Grabill). The minutes record no substantive debate on policy details or program structure during the meeting; the action was limited to approving publication of the hearing notice so the ordinance can be considered at a future meeting.
Sheriff Johnson also reported that background checks were completed for individuals listed as owners on a temporary liquor-license application from SINGLESPEED BREWING CO. for the July 20 Ragbrai event. Johnson suggested the county consider setting time limits on operating hours for temporary liquor licenses; the minutes do not show the board adopting a new time-limit policy at this meeting. Separately, the board approved a liquor license for WINETIME.
The minutes do not include the proposed ordinance text or the hearing date; publication of a hearing notice was approved, which starts the public-notice process required for an ordinance or code change.
