Board approves payroll claims, $3.68 million in payables and a slate of appointments and routine items
Summary
Supervisors approved payroll reimbursements, accounts payable totaling $3,677,949.77 (largely pass-through mental-health region funds), granted a conservation UEI resolution, and approved multiple appointments and routine minutes/election canvass items.
At its Jan. 27 meeting the Des Moines County Board of Supervisors approved payroll reimbursement claims, a large accounts-payable batch and a series of routine appointments and administrative items.
The board approved payroll reimbursement claims that included $258.98 in reimbursements and $9,926 in non-cash taxable amounts. Supervisors then approved accounts payable totaling $3,677,949.77 and $92,249.38 in wire transfers; staff explained that much of the total reflected pass-through payments because the county had acted as fiscal agent for the mental-health region and the state required settlements by Dec. 30.
The board also approved a resolution allowing the Conservation Department to use the county's UEI number to file FEMA-related documents with the Department of Homeland Security, subject to agreed edits. The board reappointed Sam Warner to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a five-year term, appointed Marilyn Box to the Veterans Affairs Commission (effective Jan. 1, 2026), and appointed Joe De Jesus to the Civil Service Commission. The resignation of correctional officer Chantel Dockerty, effective Jan. 25, 2026, was accepted.
Supervisors approved minutes of the Jan. 13 meeting and canvassed a small drainage-district election where two candidates each received 13 votes. Chair reported that an Iowa Public Information Board complaint alleging an open-meetings violation related to a closed-session discussion about selling the old public-health building was dismissed for lack of probable cause.
