Board approves routine minutes, hires and sets public hearing on county real estate sale

At the start of the Feb. 20 meeting, the Crawford County Board of Supervisors approved the previous meeting’s minutes and several consent items. The board approved payment of court fees for December 2025 and made personnel approvals, including hiring Julie Newman as administrative assistant and Cindy Bello as an interpreter in public health.

Supervisors also voted to approve the employee wage publication for 2025 and agreed to set the time, date and location for a public hearing on the sale of county real estate to the State of Iowa for Feb. 10, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. in the Horace Provisor boardroom on the second floor. These items were carried by motion and voice vote.

Other routine fiscal items—such as acceptance of a treasurer’s semiannual report—were reported as passed; no substantive controversy or opposition to consent items was recorded in the transcript.
