Worth County Board designates courthouse vestibule and county website as official posting locations
Summary
On June 22, 2026, the Worth County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2026-20 to name the bulletin board at the north entrance of the Worth County Courthouse and the countys primary website as the official physical and internet posting locations for public meeting notices under Iowa law.
The Worth County Board of Supervisors on June 22 adopted Resolution No. 2026-20 establishing the countys official posting locations for public meeting notices and tentative agendas.
Under the resolution, the board designated the bulletin board in the vestibule at the north entrance of the Worth County Courthouse, 1000 Central Avenue, Northwood, Iowa, as the official physical posting site. The resolution also specifies that public notices and tentative agendas must be posted and regularly maintained on the countys primary internet site at www.worthcountyiowa.gov.
The measure implements requirements in Iowa Code Chapter 21 and House File 2490, which require governmental bodies to designate a prominent, conspicuous, and publicly accessible physical posting location and to post notices on their primary website. The resolution states it does not supersede existing requirements to notify the news media that have filed a request for notice or the 24-hour advance notice required by Iowa Code section 21.4.
The board approved the resolution by roll call vote, with Supervisors Mark Smeby, A.J. Stone and Chair Enos Loberg recorded as voting "Aye." The resolution takes effect upon passage "from and after its passage and approval as provided by law," and was signed and attested at the meeting by Chair Enos Loberg and Auditor Jacki A. Backhaus.
The resolution clarifies where the public can reliably find meeting notices both in person and online, reflecting changes enacted by House File 2490 to the states open meetings requirements. No further action was recorded at the meeting related to the resolution.
