Supervisors approve payroll and accounts-payable claims, two subdivision final plats and routine appointments
Summary
At its Sept. 16 meeting the Des Moines County Board of Supervisors approved payroll and accounts-payable claims, finalized two minor subdivisions (Hawkeye Ridge and Croll Farm), approved a tenant lease assignment, and recorded a township resignation and appointment.
The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 16 approved routine financial claims, two minor subdivision final plats and several administrative appointments.
Payroll reimbursement claims totaling $564.25 were presented and approved by voice and roll call. The board then approved accounts-payable claims of $47,688.69 following a motion and second; supervisors recorded affirmative votes from the members present.
Staff presented Resolution 2025-48, the final plat for the Hawkeye Ridge subdivision on Prairie Grove Road. Jared, the county planner, described the proposal as “a one lot minor subdivision” splitting a 46-acre property so two brothers can each build a house; staff reported no major objections, a fence-waiver was secured, and the resolution includes the standard condition requiring health-department septic permits before occupancy. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution.
The board also approved Resolution 2025-049, the final plat for the first division of the Croll Farm subdivision. County staff said the short frontage parcel (about 1.5 acres) will be carved from a larger farm parcel for a family member to build a home, that the existing access easement will remain in use and that any additional entrances would require Secondary Roads approval. The board approved the resolution.
Supervisors approved a tenant lease assignment for a 10-year renewable lease, agreeing the county will maintain the same lease terms should the building be sold to a new owner. The board recorded the resignation of a Washington Township trustee (read as Myers) and approved appointing John Crouch to fill the remainder of the four-year term expiring Dec. 31, 2028.
Clerk and sheriff fee reports for August 2025 were submitted and filed for public inspection in the auditor’s office. Minutes from the Sept. 9 regular meeting were approved.
The board recorded no substantive amendments to any of the approved items and had no other business on the agenda; future work sessions were noted.
The meeting moved on to public comment following the listed approvals and procedural items.
