The Van Buren County Board of Supervisors met Jan. 26 in Keosauqua for a budget work session that included updates from elected officials about staff and office activities. The minutes list several attendees and note that staff and office updates were given during the session, though the published record does not itemize those updates.

The session also included a statutory review of compensation comparators—other counties with similar taxable valuation and salary surveys for Southeast Iowa, the State of Iowa, and comparable states—under Iowa Code sections 331.905(7) and 331.907(1). That review preceded the board’s motion to recommend a FY2027 compensation schedule. The meeting record closes with the board adjourning at 8:30 PM and the minutes attested by County Auditor Lisa Plecker.
