Kossuth County Board of Supervisors holds public hearing on proposed FY2026-27 tax levy; no public comment

The Kossuth County Board of Supervisors convened a special session March 24 for a public hearing on the proposed tax levy for fiscal year 2026-27. Chairman Carter Nath called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m.

The hearing record states there "wasn’t any public discussion," and no resident comments on the proposed levy were recorded in the meeting minutes. The transcript does not show the board taking a formal vote to adopt the levy during the session.

The board handled routine business during the session. A motion by Supervisor Howard Haas, seconded by Supervisor Josh Waechter, to approve the meeting agenda and the minutes from March 3, March 4 and March 9, 2026, carried unanimously. Later in the session, Supervisor Amber Garman moved to adjourn; Supervisor Kyle Stecker seconded and the motion carried unanimously, with the meeting ending at 2:40 p.m.

Tammy Eden, Kossuth County Auditor, attested the meeting record. The transcript supplied does not include a recorded adoption vote, levy figures, or further public testimony; any additional hearings, formal adoption votes or published levy amounts are not specified in the provided minutes.

The hearing provided the advertised public opportunity to comment on the proposed levy; no comments were made at this session. Next procedural steps, including whether the board will vote to set the levy at a later meeting, were not recorded in the transcript.
