(Greenfield, IA) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors, during their meeting this (Wednesday) morning in Greenfield, officially approved the appointment of Timber Woosley as Auditor Deputy, and Nathan Reed as Elections & Real Estate Deputy. Both held the same positions under former Auditor Mandy Berg, but since Ruthie Smith was appointed as Auditor, their positions had to be formalized under her leadership.
The Board passed a Resolution with regard to Public Notices, as required by the State of Iowa. Auditor Smith said it basically boils down to open records and transparency rules.
Adair/Guthrie County Public-Environmental Health Executive Director Jotham Arber presented for the Board’s review, a 28-E agreement for them to review and approval of Adair County Attorney Melissa Larson.
The contract will be reviewed after six-months to see if any changes are necessary, and yearly reviews after that. Arber described what the first six-months would look like, assuming the agreement is approved by the Attorney Larson and the Board.
In other business the Adair County Supervisors discussed at length Local Option Sales Tax (“LOST”) Revenue. Supervisor Jodie Hoadley motioned to have the County Attorney explore having a measure on the November ballot to use $225,000 from the LOST Revenue Fund that was intended for Secondary Roads for bridges and culverts, transferred to the General Fund, for use for other in-county purposes and to boost the fund balances.
The motion died for lack of a second. Assistant County Engineer Sawyer Hansen presented to the Board’s approval and Chair Jerry Walker’s signature, a contract for the W36 Lincoln (Township) Bridge Project, and the related Performance Bond. Both were approved by the Board and signed by Walker.
