Scott County supervisors approve consent agenda, adopt MEDIC EMS ambulance branding and authorize road closures
Summary
On Jan. 15 the Scott County Board unanimously approved a consent agenda including resolutions to authorize temporary secondary-road closures under Iowa Code §306.41, permit IT to negotiate contracts with Tyler Technologies, adopt MEDIC EMS ambulance branding concepts, set a Feb. 12 FY26 budget amendment hearing and approve warrants totaling $1,140,496.26.
The Scott County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a seven-item consent agenda at its Jan. 15 meeting, adopting multiple resolutions and administrative actions.
The board approved a resolution authorizing the County Engineer to temporarily close county secondary roads in 2026 under Iowa Code Section 306.41 for construction, maintenance or emergencies and to post reduced speed limits in work zones. The board also authorized the county IT department to enter contract negotiations with Tyler Technologies for jail management software and for community development software.
The board adopted a resolution approving MEDIC EMS of Scott County's brand identity and ambulance wrap design concepts. The resolution notes MEDIC has provided emergency medical services to the Iowa and Illinois Quad Cities region for more than 40 years and has operated as a Scott County department since 2024; the board selected the ambulance wrap presented on Jan. 13, 2026 and adopted the presented logo artwork and concept designs as Exhibits A and B.
Supervisor Daniel Beck addressed public comments about ambulance rebranding, saying rebranding will occur as new ambulances are received rather than replacing wraps on the entire fleet at once and that there is a modest cost to apply wraps to make vehicles more visible and safer. Supervisor Bribriesco said the money for branding was not an either/or choice with equipment, and Supervisor John Maxwell said the study presented favored a yellow wrap as more noticeable for safety.
The board set a public hearing on an amendment to the FY26 budget for Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The board also approved reappointments: Mike Davis to the Bi-State Regional Commission for a three-year term through Dec. 31, 2028; Judith Lee to the Integrated Roadside Vegetation Management Board for a three-year term through Dec. 31, 2028; and Joe Golinghurst to the Lower Cedar Watershed for a one-year term through Feb. 16, 2027. The board approved warrants numbered 344908 and 344921 through 345127 totaling $1,140,496.26, EFT payments totaling $2,247.81 and purchase card program transactions totaling $93,212.32.
All motions recorded in the meeting passed by unanimous vote ('All Ayes'). The board adjourned at 5:21 p.m.
