Board authorizes auditor payments, cigarette permits and transaction authority for 2026
Summary
Black Hawk County supervisors authorized routine administrative measures for 2026: the county auditor may issue cigarette permits, make specified routine payments and, by separate resolution, Karen Sho Walter was authorized to conduct claims and payroll transactions on the auditor's behalf. Supervisors requested periodic payroll reporting for transparency.
During the Jan. 2 special session, the board approved a suite of routine administrative resolutions. The board authorized the county auditor to issue cigarette permits for the 2026 calendar year and adopted a resolution authorizing the auditor to make ordinary payments (water, lights, insurance, payrolls as fixed by the board, postage, court reporter/jury/witness fees, and other listed items).
Supervisors asked staff to provide periodic payroll reporting (e.g., quarterly) so the board has visibility into payroll and salary totals after payments are approved. The board also passed a resolution authorizing county auditor Karen Sho Walter to conduct claims and payroll transactions on behalf of the auditor's office effective Jan. 1, 2026; that resolution was approved by roll-call vote.
