Board of Supervisors - Open Session - October 20, 2026

At the October 20, 2026, Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors open session, the board approved an updated Mills–Pottawattamie County line-road maintenance agreement by motion; it changes no road-maintenance responsibilities. The board also discussed potentially using an outside firm to support upcoming union negotiations. Supervisors did not approve an RFP or select a firm; they agreed to do further research and bring the matter back. The discussion included defining the firm’s role, such as guiding the negotiation process and advising if arbitration arises.

The Conservation Board presented its annual report, including Crescent Hill at Hitchcock enterprise-fund revenue of about $1.42 million and a reported $438,000 margin over expenses. Staff presented an installment repayment check for prior county infrastructure investment; repayments to date total about $627,850. A nonprofit representative also reported receiving a $100,000 Iowa Finance Authority award for a housing-diversion pilot, but this was not a county procurement action. No other contract award or purchasing decision was identified.
