Board names three official newspapers for De Mo County in 2026
Summary
Supervisors approved designation of three publications — the Hawkeye, the Burlington Beacon/De Mo County News and a Minneapolis‑area paper — as official newspapers of record for county notices in 2026.
The board approved the county’s official newspapers for the 2026 calendar year, accepting applications from the Hawkeye, the Burlington Beacon (which acquired the De Moines County News) and a Minneapolis‑area publication that submitted letters seeking designation.
County staff read letters from the applicants explaining publication frequency, distribution and the Burlington Beacon’s recent acquisition of the De Moines County News. Board members moved and seconded the motion to approve all three papers as the county’s official record papers; the vote was unanimous.
Why this matters: Designating official papers ensures legal notices and public records are published in outlets that meet statutory distribution requirements.
