Louisa County supervisors approve routine business, appoint Planning and Zoning member and discuss county complex water problems
Summary
At its Jan. 14 meeting the Louisa County Board of Supervisors approved routine minutes and reports, approved a liquor license, appointed Chris Hoeg to the Planning and Zoning Commission, reviewed payroll and ambulance reports, and asked staff to estimate repairs for water-system problems at the county complex.
The Louisa County Board of Supervisors met Jan. 14 and handled routine agenda items including approvals of minutes, financial reports, a liquor license and an appointment to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The board approved the Jan. 7, 2025 minutes and accepted the Treasurer’s semi-annual report and quarterly reports for the sheriff, recorder and auditor. Supervisor Kevin Hardin moved to approve the agenda and minutes; Supervisor Scot Hunt seconded routine motions throughout the session. A liquor license for Heritage Oaks Golf & Country Club was approved by motion.
The board also approved the appointment of Chris Hoeg to the Planning and Zoning Commission after adding that item to the agenda. Payroll changes were reviewed, including a noted pay rate of $30.95 per hour for Deputy Jacob Ford effective Dec. 10, 2024. The board reviewed December 2024 ambulance reports from Columbus Junction, Wapello and Morning Sun.
During public input, Randy Foor asked about the Sam Willson case; Chair Shawn Maine said the ruling had been returned in favor of Willson. Jim Rudisill asked whether the board had received any formal reports from the union; Maine said none had been provided.
County staff member Tim McCleary reported multiple drinking-water issues at the county complex — leaking valves, replacement needs for water softeners, and problems with a water tank — and the board requested cost estimates so it can evaluate the most cost-effective repairs. The board discussed but tabled an item on donating sick hours to another county employee and decided to keep the 2025–2026 holiday schedule as is.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:55 a.m.
