The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors voted on June 23, 2026 to deny continuing Department Head agreements and instead allow department heads 40 hours of personal leave each year, to be used by June 15. The motion, made by Supervisor Tim Wichman and seconded by Jeff Jorgensen, passed on a roll call: AYES — Wichman, Susan Miller, Jeff Jorgensen and Keith Jones; NAY — Brian Shea.
The minutes record the board’s action but do not provide further detail about the rationale for ending the continuing agreements, whether changes apply retroactively, or any implementation timetable. The motion passed despite the chair’s dissent; the transcript does not show additional discussion or conditions attached to the leave provision.
The board handled implementation and administrative follow-up in later procedural entries; the minutes do not specify which department will administer the leave change or whether written personnel policy updates will be produced.
