Shelby County supervisors adopt resolution naming official meeting‑notice posting place
Summary
The Shelby County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2026-26 on July 7, 2026, designating the glass exterior door on the south side of the Shelby County Courthouse as the county's official public posting location for meeting notices, effective immediately; the board will revisit the designation at its January 4, 2027 organizational meeting.
The Shelby County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2026-26 on July 7, 2026, designating the glass exterior door on the south side of the Shelby County Courthouse as the official, conspicuous place to post notice of its meetings at least one full business day prior to each meeting. The resolution takes effect July 7, 2026.
Supervisor Bryce Schaben moved to adopt the resolution and Supervisor Mike Kolbe seconded; the board recorded aye votes from Chairman Charles Parkhurst and Supervisors Mike Kolbe and Bryce Schaben, with no nays. The minutes state the board has previously adopted an Open Meetings policy and that the resolution implements the Iowa Legislature’s updated open‑meetings requirement that notices be visible at all times for at least 24 hours before a meeting.
Under the resolution, the Shelby County Auditor is directed to post agendas that include the time, date and place of the meeting facing outward on the specified glass door. The board also recorded a requirement that at its January 4, 2027 organizational meeting — and each annual organizational meeting thereafter — it will designate the posting place for the following year. No amendments or funding items were recorded alongside the resolution in the minutes.
