The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors handled a slate of routine and policy items at the May 19 meeting, approving claims, property listings, personnel actions and several resolutions.
Claims: The board approved accounts-payable claims totaling $424,127.74 (checks $334,878.20; wire transfers $89,249.54).
Final plat: Resolution 2026-032 approved the Fire Ridge Farm final plat (see separate coverage).
Workforce Housing Tax Credit match: The board approved a resolution supporting an Iowa Economic Development Authority Workforce Housing Tax Credit application for Green Gable Cottages. Staff said Midwest Realty Group had earlier sought a $56,000 county match for a grant; the current application reduced the county match to $52,000. A county road-paving estimate to improve access to the property was cited at $165,000–$180,000; developer Ryan Nagrocki offered to pay costs in excess of the county match.
Douglas Street listing: The board approved a listing agreement for three Douglas Street lots with a combined list of $34,900 and an asking price of $234,000 for the former K Redemption Center.
Personnel actions and minutes: The board accepted the resignation of Hillary May (Correctional Center), effective May 27, 2026, approved a six-month step increase for Zachary Reynolds (maintenance) raising his annual rate from $34,934.41 to $40,528.85 effective May 17, and approved minutes of the May 12 regular meeting.
All listed motions were moved, seconded and approved by recorded assent during the meeting; no additional conditions, funding allocations or deadlines beyond what staff presented were placed on the items by the board.
