Louisa County supervisors vote to close Driver’s License Station May 31 after treasurer cites $30,000 annual savings
Summary
The Louisa County Board of Supervisors voted March 25 to close the county Driver’s License Station on May 31, 2025, after Treasurer Vicki Frank said removing the service would save about $30,000 annually; residents urged the board to keep the service and the treasurer will consult Iowa DOT about ending the 28E agreement.
The Louisa County Board of Supervisors voted on March 25 to close the county Driver’s License Station effective May 31, 2025, following a presentation by Treasurer Vicki Frank that removing the service from her office would save the county about $30,000 a year. The motion to close was made by Supervisor Kevin Hardin and seconded by Supervisor Scot Hunt; the minutes record that board members vote “AYE” unless recorded otherwise.
Treasurer Vicki Frank explained the cost implications and said she will contact the Iowa Department of Transportation to begin the process of ending the existing 28E agreement that governs the station’s operation. During public comment, resident Randy Foor asked whether the projected savings would mean laying off an employee; Supervisor Hardin said cross‑training of staff to work across offices has been discussed as an alternative. Local residents Bill Poggemiller and Bill Small told the board that the Driver’s License Station is an important county service and urged officials to find cuts elsewhere.
The board recorded the motion to close the station (mover: Hardin; second: Hunt). The minutes do not include further implementation details such as staffing decisions or a formal transition plan; Treasurer Frank’s follow‑up with Iowa DOT was noted as the immediate next step.
