Supervisors approve siren casing, depository designations and personnel items
Summary
Des Moines County supervisors approved a $758.17 purchase for a protective casing for the Yarmouth siren controller, designated Minneapolis Savings Bank as the recorder’s official depository with a $200,000 cap, approved the FY27 depository list and several personnel actions including correctional‑center hires and step increases.
At its July 14 meeting, the Des Moines County Board of Supervisors approved several routine administrative items including a small equipment purchase, official depository designations and multiple personnel actions.
Emergency Management staff reported the newly installed controller at the Yarmouth siren lacked a weather‑tight protective casing. Shannon Bridal recommended buying an appropriate enclosure so the controller can be safely installed; the board approved the purchase after a motion and second. The total cost was stated as $758.17.
The board also designated Minneapolis Savings Bank as the official depository for the recorder of deeds, registrar and vital statistics for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with a maximum deposit cap of $200,000. The chair said the designation was submitted for approval “in accordance with chapter 12C.2 of the Iowa Code.” The board additionally approved the county’s FY27 list of depositories, which included Farmers & Merchants Bank, MidFirst Bank & Trust, Danville State Bank, Minneapolis Savings Bank, Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust and 1st Interstate Bank, each with specified maximum amounts.
Personnel items approved included unpaid leave (67.5 hours) for a recorder’s deputy effective July 5, 2026, and correctional‑center personnel actions: Stacy Hammond (part‑time correctional officer) at $19.14 per hour effective July 16; Kristella Boyer (full time) receiving a step increase from $51,574.95 to $54,492.19; and Allison Moody receiving a 12‑month step increase to $17.94 per hour effective Aug. 2.
What happens next: staff filed the monthly fee reports in the auditor’s office and will return any items requiring further board action to a future agenda; no additional funding authorizations were made at the July 14 meeting.
