Board of Supervisors - Open Session - September 15, 2026

The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors held an open session meeting on September 15, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement topics included approval of a preliminary plat for the Pioneer Meadows Subdivision, zoning ordinance amendments, and the selection of a new employee occupational health and workers' compensation provider, Convenient Care, with a motion passed to contract with them pending a service agreement. The board also discussed county-owned properties with outstanding tax sale certificates, exploring procedures for redeeming these certificates and potentially selling the properties to adjacent landowners. A significant portion of the meeting focused on capital planning and budget management, including the handling of bond funds related to a 911 project, the status of various capital improvement projects such as jail HVAC upgrades, bridge and bike trail funding, and conservation building repairs. The board debated the use of $6 million bond proceeds either to pay down debt or fund capital projects, with considerations of levy impacts and reserve funds. Monthly budget tracking reports were also discussed, and the board planned to develop a more detailed capital plan for future approval. Motions were passed to pay taxes on county-owned properties and to approve proclamations such as National Voter Registration Day.
