The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors handled routine consent and contract items on June 23, approving multiple lease renewals, a subdivision plat, an intergovernmental MOU and several personnel and minutes actions. A single payroll/mileage reimbursement claim for Veterans Affairs was tabled for further information about travel costs.
Key outcomes approved by motion:
- Rivercross care facility lease renewal (12-month term); record shows annual rent of $20,000, payable in monthly installments of $1,666.67.
- OptiMate Recovery Center lease renewal (12-month term); county staff recommended approval with no substantive changes to terms.
- Final plat resolution for Epphard Country Subdivision (two-lot minor subdivision on Minneapolis Road) with a condition that a septic permit is required if Lot 2 is developed.
- Memorandum of understanding with the Iowa Department of Management to renew county security software (same terms as prior year).
- Approval of minutes from the June 16, 2026 meeting (one abstention recorded) and a personnel action recording 2.44 hours unpaid for a county employee (Drew Tucker) on 06/18/2026.
One reimbursement claim (discussed as $1,990.44) was tabled pending additional information about whether the cheapest travel option was used.
The meeting record did not include full roll-call tallies for every item; where roll-call names appear in the transcript some supervisors registered affirmative votes, and the board’s motions carried.
