The Butler County Board of Supervisors discussed progress on an E911 Tower Public Improvement Project during its March 12, 2024 meeting, and County Attorney David Kuehner said he would prepare the necessary documents to begin the process. The discussion took place during routine business at the board’s meeting in Butler County, Iowa.
The update focused on site suitability and next steps. "This is arguably the most important land in Butler County as it provides for the safety of residents in Butler County," Supervisor Rusty Eddy said, urging prompt action. Sheriff Johnson told the board that the sheriff’s office had reviewed multiple alternative locations but had not found one more suitable for the tower, and Kuehner said he would draft the paperwork needed to advance the project.
The board did not take a formal vote specific to funding or final site selection at this meeting; the county attorney’s preparation of documents was presented as the next procedural step. The county’s next regular meeting was set for March 19, 2024, where project updates could reappear on the agenda.
