Public commenter promotes ICCS conservation conference; board recognizes staff serving on state committees

Benton County meeting · August 18, 2026

Summary

A public commenter urged supervisors to attend the ICCS fall conference the county is hosting and highlighted tours and keynote speakers; supervisors also congratulated Haley, who will serve as incoming president of the Iowa Auditors Association, and others serving on state committees.

During the public‑interest portion of the meeting, a commenter encouraged supervisors to attend the ICCS fall conference the county is hosting, noting single‑day registration and a banquet option, two tour buses and "over 100 people" signed up for a tour day, and keynote speaker Doug Tallamy. "You don't have to go for the whole thing. You can register for just a single day," the commenter said while outlining registration and tour options.

Board members also recognized staff service at the state level: a supervisor announced that Haley will be sworn in as president of the Iowa Auditors Association (term starts Jan. 1), noted Larry Greeson is a past Assessors Association president, and said Alicia Stang serves on the Iowa County Treasurers legislative committee and the best‑practices committee drafting statewide protocols for prosecutions. Members congratulated those employees and discussed logistics for the auditor association's upcoming convention.
