Benton County designates temporary public notice posting location under new state law
Summary
On June 23 the Board adopted Resolution #26-58 designating the exterior south door of the county service center as the temporary official physical location for posting meeting notices until a weatherproof bulletin board can be installed at the courthouse, citing House File 2490 and Iowa Code Chapter 21.
The Benton County Board of Supervisors on June 23 adopted Resolution #26-58 to designate an official physical posting location for public meeting notices in compliance with House File 2490, which takes effect July 1, 2026, and Iowa Code Chapter 21. Ronald J. Tippett moved to approve the resolution and Bruce Volz seconded; Tippett, Seeman and Volz voted aye.
Under the resolution the exterior south door of the Benton County Service Center will serve as the temporary posting location until a weatherproof bulletin board can be purchased and placed at the west entrance of the Benton County Courthouse at 111 E. 4th Street, Vinton. The resolution also requires that meeting notices and agendas be posted on the county’s official website when applicable and that any amended agendas be clearly identified as "AMENDED."
The board adopted the measure to comply with the new requirement that postings be visible and accessible to the public at all times; the transcript does not specify the timetable or vendor for purchasing the permanent bulletin board.
