Board designates courthouse east exterior door as official 24‑hour posting location under new Iowa rule
Summary
To comply with House File 2490 and Iowa Code chapter 21 open‑meetings rules, the board designated a glass display on the courthouse east exterior door as the official 24‑hour public posting location and adopted Resolution 2026‑24.
The Crawford County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 2026‑24 to designate a prominent, ADA‑accessible posting location for public meeting notices consistent with recent changes to state open‑meetings rules (House File 2490 and Iowa Code chapter 21).
Staff proposed the glass display case on the courthouse east exterior door because it is visible, accessible 24 hours a day and easier for members of the public without internet access to consult. The board approved the resolution by roll call and directed staff to maintain website posting as an internet complement to the physical posting.
Board members noted the designation addresses a new legal requirement while preserving current electronic posting practices. Staff said they would research weather‑resistant display options and make the posting more prominent if needed.
