# November 10, 2026 Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting Part 1

Dallas County Board of Supervisors regular meeting, November 10, 2026. The board approved Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment No. 7 for the County Attorney’s Office renovation for $3,497,740. It also approved Amendment No. 2 for the Auditor’s Office renovation, with the base amount stated unclearly in the transcript (approximately $3.642 million); approved alternates included canopy removal, high-density storage, and clean-agent fire protection at both locations, while brick veneer alternates were excluded. A county official raised concerns about recurring roof leaks and possible mold at the Auditor’s Office; the board said facilities should address the roof separately. The board also approved a Highway 44 pre-construction agreement with the Iowa DOT for intersection paving, with an estimate of about $40,000 per intersection and final costs to be based on construction bids. A certificate of substantial completion for the courthouse renovation was recommended for approval. The board approved a county AI-use policy ahead of a planned Microsoft Copilot rollout; the county had budgeted for the tool, initially planned about 30 licenses for department heads and designated users, and the attorney’s office had separately purchased roughly 17 additional licenses. Training was planned, but no software contract amount was stated.

The board set hearing dates for the FY27 budget amendment and a three-year IP Pathways managed contract; neither was an award or approval of the contract at this meeting. Draft 28E agreements related to West Des Moines annexation and road jurisdiction/maintenance were discussed but not approved, with supervisors raising concerns about the proposed urban renewal/TIF arrangement and potential effects on school district revenues. The board also approved the election canvass resolution. No contract amount was stated for the IP Pathways item, and the transcript does not clearly capture the Auditor’s renovation amendment amount or the DOT agreement identifiers.
