(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Board of Supervisors in Adair County held their regular weekly meeting Wednesday (Sept. 17), during which they passed a Transfer Resolution, after receiving a brief explanation from Auditor Mandy Berg.

They also approved three appointments to the Adair County Tourism Council. Once again, here’s Mandy Berg…

The Board acknowledged receipt of two Manure Management Plan updates, and then continued last week’s discussion with regard to the Greenfield Swimming Pool project. During their meeting Sept. 10th, the Supervisors in Adair County heard from Renee Schwartz with the Greenfield Pool Steering Committee. She mentioned the Greenfield City Council approved having a one-million dollar Pool bond referendum on the Nov. 4th General Election ballot, with the intention of replacing the current pool which was built 1942 and is in bad shape. Schwartz said it had one-to two-years of life expectancy remaining. If approved by the voters, a new, zero entry-style pool would be built that improves accessibility for persons of all ages and provides a comfortable space for sunbathing or relaxing in the shallow water. The current pool only offers entry by ladders A new pool would cost about five-to six-million dollars.

During today’s meeting (Wednesday) Supervisor Board Chair Nathan Baier had an update on where the county stands legally on the matter.

Mandy Berg discussed the Urban Renewal aspect of the project.

She said there would need to be a joint agreement with the City of Greenfield. The process would take about three-to four months to get it into an amended and adopted Urban Renewal Plan.Afterward, the County could bond for its part of the project, but the earliest would be next Spring or Summer.

She said the cost to the County to petition for a bond would be at least four-to six thousand dollars. Another option is the use of Local Option Sales Tax revenue, but Berg suggested that’s not “really a good option.” No action was taken.

In other business, the Adair County Supervisors approved a Longevity raise for Lee Stewart, who has 25 years with the Secondary Roads Department. They also passed a Resolution awarding the FY26 Crack Sealing Project to Manatt’s, Inc., in the amount of $102,624.
