Board approves small purchases, depository designations, personnel actions and routine financial reports
Summary
Des Moines County supervisors approved a set of routine measures including purchase of a weatherproof casing for a siren controller ($758.17), designation of Minneapolis Savings Bank as recorder depository (max $200,000), department petty-cash reports, FY27 depositories, and personnel actions; minutes for 07/07/2026 were also approved.
The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors approved several routine administrative items during its meeting.
The board voted to purchase a weather‑resistant protective casing for an Essex siren controller at the Armand Center to allow safe installation; staff reported the total cost as $758.17 and the motion passed by voice vote.
The board designated Minneapolis Savings Bank as the official depository for the Recorder of Deeds for the fiscal year 07/01/2026 through 06/30/2027 and listed a maximum deposit amount of $200,000 as presented. The action was taken pursuant to the county's obligations under state public-depository rules (the meeting referenced Iowa code chapter 12C.2).
Supervisors also approved routine department cash-on-hand reports (examples read into the record included GIS $25; county abstract $999.80; auditor $60; county attorney $111.31; sheriff $200; conservation board $25), accepted a packet of FY27 depository nominations and limits, approved three personnel actions in the recorder and corrections offices (including 67.5 hours unpaid leave effective 07/05/2026, a part-time corrections hire at $19.14/hr effective July 16, and step increases for other corrections staff), and approved minutes from the regular meeting on 07/07/2026.
Board members approved each item by motion and voice vote; where roll-call-style confirmation occurred the clerk read names into the record and members replied "yes." No controversial objections were recorded for these routine items.
Details of recorded amounts and personnel effective dates were read into the record and filed in the auditor's office.
