Supervisors move to discuss personnel in closed session under Iowa Code §21.5(1)

Jasmine Elmore, the county’s director of human resources, introduced an agenda item asking the board to go into closed session to evaluate individuals under Iowa Code chapter 21.5(1).

A supervisor moved to enter closed session and another seconded the motion. Chairman Shay called a roll and each supervisor on the dais indicated their presence (Supervisor Jorgensson, Supervisor Wickman, Supervisor Jones, Supervisor Miller). The roll‑call exchange was recorded in open session prior to the closed‑session deliberation.

The board cited Iowa Code §21.5(1) as the legal basis for the closed meeting, which permits closed‑door evaluation of individuals. The transcript ends with the roll call, and no further public details about the personnel evaluations were discussed on the record.
