Board approves two operating transfers, canvasses primary election and abates mobile‑home taxes

At the June 9 meeting the Board handled several fiscal and administrative actions.

Transfers: Two operating transfers were presented in the packet and recorded by resolution. Resolution 2026‑0077 moved $150,000 from the General Basic Fund to the Bike Trail Fund. Resolution 2026‑0078 moved $2,000,000 from the General Basic Fund to the Capital Fund. The Finance Director (Rob Tietz) submitted transfer requests and supporting forms.

Canvass and elections: The Board conducted the canvass of the June 2, 2026 primary election and recorded Resolution 2026‑0076 to certify the results; packet materials note provisional ballot counts and standard canvass documentation.

Tax abatements: Treasurer Summer Portzen requested abatement of mobile‑home taxes under Iowa Code Section 435.25, citing properties where mobile homes were removed or where administrative collection was impractical. The packet included tax‑sale certificate records and the treasurer’s abatement request; the Board moved to abate the named mobile‑home taxes.

Other administrative items in the packet included payroll change forms, requisitions and certificate of tax‑sale records that Treasurer staff provided as supporting documentation for the abatements.

Provenance: Transfer request forms and signed resolutions (SEG 3256–SEG 3270); Treasurer abatement request, tax sale certificate and tax‑charge records (SEG 3078–SEG 3176); canvass resolution language (SEG 3269–SEG 3274).
