Board of Supervisors - Regular Meeting

Good morning everybody. It's Tuesday, March 10th, 2026. My name is Don Smiker. I'm going to call the Jackson County Board of Supervisors meeting to order. To my left, I have Mike Steinus. I have to my right in Flegel. Morning. Bjorn from IT, Lisa from the auditors, Britney back in the press box. First up is any visitors and citizens that would like to address the council to the board today. I I know we have Jaden us. Who's the third? Is that Michael again? Any chance you want to speak today, Michael? Appreciate your attendance. Moving on. Next up, what? Oh, Josh B.

I'm not on your agenda, the way I just very very briefly, uh, two or three weeks ago, I saw Chair Schwinker just on the community, and you talked about the cities needing to certify a letter for this special levy on the dispatch agreement to attorney keys. I've done that. I largely assume the other cities are going to piggyback off of that letter. Um, so at this point I think the ball is entirely in your court to draft the agreement and um and any way we can be a help in that. I guess what I guess my question what would the agreement we draft if does your attorney say it's okay to use the emergency management? It's got to be a commission. Okay.

It's got to be a 28e with all parties approving it. Okay. So in creating the 28 that gives you guys the authorization to do that. Okay. I'm only here and pushing it on and on and on for a couple reasons, but one of the main ones is uh Jones County when they were establishing this they oh here you go state we need this reviewed and approved. It took some time. So you know I I don't want to be in November without an agreement approved by the state. So I just think it's something to continue working on. Okay. Any questions?

Uh no not really. I mean you're we're drafting off to the one that you took to the councils and had them agree are these entities it in in concept the EMA per capita with with the hospital eventually agreeing to the first that was after the fact though correct yeah that was and I think we need to have a representative from the hospital board come in and maybe have a discussion some I think they're going to talk about it in April at their April meeting I'm I'm going and we're going to discuss Okay. Why this is needed and you know I I know they're going to approve it. So I mean

well I mean we have other things that we probably need to discuss with them. So we need at some point have a work session. Correct. We can work that out but uh yeah I mean I have the original or I don't know how many I have. I have one has some we don't we don't have one with the per capita. yellow marked on. Yeah, it's a it's a yellow highlight. I think one of the most recent I mean some of the concerns I you know was the commission or whatever you want to call it and who's on it and things like that that little stuff you know

thinking long term and hearing what I've heard from the state and some of that hey we're going to eliminate 911 boards and these things because they want them to be local emergency management commissions anyway. So to me, it's okay. Let's establish the local emergency management commission, have them perform the same function if that's the way the state wants us to to run it. But that I know you're heavily involved with that. Something to think about. Well, again, that that has to be discussed with that whole group. Yeah, you know. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Appreciate it. We'll get it going. We'll we'll do what we need to. I'm easy. Thank you, M. Thanks, Josh. You're persistent. I would say more than that.

Next up, we have Becky Chapen. Good morning, Becky. Good morning. My first time to your new digs here. I said it's my first time at your new here. Oh, how you like it? That's pretty good. Nice and open in here now. Britney back there. She's back here, too. Back there. Okay. I just have a couple of personnel items for you this week. Um, first being that we received notice of resignation of one of our full-time correction officers. So, I would ask for a motion to accept the resignation from full-time correction officer Sarah Knight effective March 13, 2026. I'll move. I'd second that.

Got a motion by Mike, second by n to accept the resignation of full-time corrections officer Sarah Knight, effective 13 March 2026 and our appreciation for her time served. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. I. Post. Motion carries. And Sarah was with us for just over three and a half years. So yeah, we thank her for her service to Jackson County. And then next, I would ask for a motion to approve Jonathan Hines moving from PR and corrections to full-time effective March 13, 2026. I'll make that motion. I have a second.

Got a motion by Nin, second by Mike to approve hiring of Jonathan Hines from PRN status to full-time effective 13 March 2026. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. opposed. Motion carries and I would ask for a motion to approve the hiring of Neil Dolphin as a full-time sheriff's deputy effective March 4th, 2026 at an hourly rate of 3544, including authorizing the auditor to implement for payroll purposes. So moved.

I second that. Motion by Mike, second by N to approve the hiring of Neil Dolphin as a full-time sheriff's deputy effective March 4th, 2026 at an hourly rate of 35.44, including authorizing the auditor's department to implement payroll implement for payroll purposes. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. I. Oppos? Motion carries. And accordingly, I would ask for a motion to approve the 3-month probationary certificate of appointment for Neil Dolphin effective March 4th, 2026 through June 4th, 2026, including authorizing the chair to sign. I'd make that motion. I have a second.

Got a motion by N, second by Mike to approve the three-month prob probationary certificate of appointment for Neil Dolphin effective March 4th, 2026 through June 4th, 2026, including the authorizing the chairs to sign. Any other discussion? Does this go along with the longevity that we talked about as far as that was the lateral move on the pay scale at the 304? Yep. Yep. That sounds a lot better what I tried to say. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. Opposed. Motion carries.

And then after six and a half years of service to Jackson County, Kirk Rubers, who is a part-time security officer, has decided to hang up his police hat officially, I believe, for finally. Um, so I would ask for a motion to I would ask for a motion to accept the retirement notice from part-time security officer Kurt River effective February 20th, 2026. I'd make that motion. I would second. Got a motion by N, second by Mike to accept the resurre uh res retirement notice of part-time security officer Kirk Gerber effective 20 February 2026. Any other discussion? We'll send along his certificate of appreciation or our words of thanks and everything for his service

not only for for the security officer for his longevity and his service for the public here and years of service and this will be his retirement for the last time for now. That's what I'm thinking but who knows? All those in favor say I. I opposed. Motion carries. Never say never. Say always. Never say never. All right. Next up, Carson from uh the Historic Preservation Commission. Good morning. Good morning. How's everybody doing? Good. Doing great. It's like spring. Enjoy it. It's going to be gone. Change morning.

Well, they're talking Monday and Tuesday highs of about 25 and then back up in the 50s after that. So, somebody told me everybody's sick. Yeah. Somebody told me their tulips are popping up today and or over the weekend. I was like, I got to get whacking. My ditch is turning green grass. What can we do for you? Well, we have three new interpretive signs that we have developed for the historic insane asylum, and we would like your permission to have those produced and installed at the site. I I seen an email come from Don last night or the night before or something. Maybe uh Wentworth signed some kind of letter

about these signs. I've not seen them. Is there a prototype that we can see before we decide to say, "Yeah, we can make them." I didn't see an email. So, the actual image of the sign with the text and photos on it was part of my the information I sent to Lisa. So, that would have been in the packet that I sent last night. So it's like a was in the packet. I didn't see no pictures. I seen it come from you. Yeah. Silent port. Okay. There's a flyer. I thought I sent everything yesterday about

the smoke stacks and silos national heritage area. Is that one of the I see that flyer in your packet. I forward I thought I forwarded everything on. Are you able to pull them up when we can look at them on the screen, is that something? Yeah, I I would like to see it for approvement. I did I somebody said they were 3x6. How big are they?

I believe they're 24 by 36. What we're doing is we have three posts that were um originally up for the demonstration farm, which no longer exists at that site. And so we're reusing the metal structures and the local sign company is producing the signs on vinyl and we'll adhere them to those posts and then we'll get them installed at the site. But we wanted you to see the signs. Yeah, I would like that we proposing. Is that one of them? Yes, sir. Okay. I thought that was a presentation. I thought there was a I thought that was a brochure.

No, th those are those are the three signs. Gotcha. Whose email was it then? Lisa's packet. Yeah, I see. There's the letter by Don Win as for demonstrations. Right. So there was the cover letter and then I sent the of the insane. I interpreted that that was like a a presentation and oh y right you know we could I we couldn't see that it was justified for us to go ahead and have the signs printed and produced and installed and then ask you to come out and look at them. This is a better we thought might be several signs the signs the sign structure is metal metal. Okay.

But where they going to in where they going to be in respect to the building? We are trying to meet with Jeff Kilberg to talk about that because you're talking two foot tall by Yeah, they were at the site at one point, but because the the subject matter isn't all focused on the demonstration farm, which was to the east,

we may want to locate them either all together again or separately. But we want to make sure we meet with Jeff and work that out and also do the you know the the Iowa one call and everything like that. So the first step for us was to get a sign company who could produce them and they the local company can produce them for a very minimal charge. She did bring that on or not that attachment and then we saved money by not buying another metal structure. Yeah. I

but I wanted you we the commission wanted the board of supervisors to see the text because it's the demonstration farm pulls text from the previous signs but the um subject matter and the other ones have not been to my knowledge is not I'm still just a little confused here. So these three pictures that I have here are the actual signs. They're going to be on the 20 all on one. No. Breathe. There's we have three sign structures. So, if you think about what an interpretive sign looks like, it's got either a round or a square. In this case, these structures are square base like a key with a tilted.

Okay. Kind of like when you're just for the public, when you go to the zoo and you're going to read about an animal, whatever sitting there. Is it in the kil site? The the limestone kils have a set of interpretive signs. They're very similar. Yeah. So 3x six. I think they're 24 by 36 in. And what um what the sign contractor will do is create each of these signs as a vinyl

overlay and put them on the sign structure and then we'll work with Jeff to put them in appropriate location. I know at a lot of the national parks they have a QR code where the people can scan it and it pulls it up on their phone if they'd like. I don't Yes. I don't I don't how to generate a QR code. I might be able to get one from silos. Then you could add to these. Might be a good

Yeah. So, what we have um what we've added is information about the fact that this was part of the Jackson County Poor Farm, which is why it's a silos and smoke stacks partner site. And then we use the images and information from the National Register and the history of Jackson County from the 1800s to describe exactly why was there an insane asylum here and what what was it why what did it what was its purpose and and then how it was reused over time

and and so the yeah although the demonstration farm isn't there I I think because we're associated with an agricultural use, it was also good to I thought and you're looking for us to approve the signs so you can get with Jav and have them placed and have the produce and you have that all within your budget. Okay. Oh, it's an astonishing small amount to make these. Yeah, I thought that was rather I think the number was in there maybe in the letter under 100 each. Yeah, I think total 300 and then we'll work with Jeff to we want to do a site plan where we going to put these signs and

yeah hopefully that'll come back. Yeah, I mean again I look when I come by this morning and I was picturing something larger than this little thing that you stand and read I don't want too large because No, I don't either. That's I haven't seen them. This thing I'm looking at right here I assume was a brochure. That's what it looks like to me. So,

well, once now that we have it, it can be used for other things. It can be presentations or put on our commission website or brochures. So, the idea is that we would we would be able to have let people come to the site and learn about it. Even though the building itself is closed because work's being done inside, um the site is still open and these images can help people envision what it might have looked like in previous times. Good. Uh I would make that motion to approve and we'll add the QR code as suggested.

Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I mean more and more people are going to things like that. And I can get one from silos. Yeah, I know. When we stopped at the national parks over the summer, you would walk up and they'd have a little thing and you could scan the QR code and then your phone would read it to you, so you could listen to it if you wanted. Yeah, it's pretty amazing, isn't it? Well, that's cool. I don't know if we could get that fancy. You never know. Can certainly add a QR code. I would second the motion. Got a motion by Mike, second by N to approve the uh act uh the uh production of these signs placed at the historic Hane asylum site, right? I assume that your your motion is to have Jeff install, maintenance director Jeff Kilbert install.

Yeah. Oh, well. Yeah. After location approval. Yeah. So, if you want to disapprove the making of the signs first, maybe we come back and so that that's the question. Do you are you approving? Let's approve the making of the signs. That way we can make sure that Jeff I I think we could approve in installation in coordination with Jeff. Yeah. Yeah. Agree. We will be. We are trying to work with Jeff to do a site. I can bring that back. No, that's what we're trying. No. Okay. So, the signs are made. Now, you need to approve the location of the signs. No, the signs haven't been made yet. The signs have not been. We are approving the making of the signs and coordination of placement with our property maintenance and we

or would you just want Jeff to put them out when you guys figure out where they No, we want we want to do a site plan and plot it all out the zoning administrator and he says we don't I just think Jeff would do a good job of placing the want to work out where where's the best place for them. And by the way, there's no um cable there, is there? or underground fiber or something. Well, yeah. No, that that will all be so original motion was to approve the signs being made. Correct. And I think we stick with that and then the time comes to put them up, we approve where to put them. It's as simple as coming in and say, is that what you said?

Yes, that's exactly what I seconded. Any other discussion as far as we got? Yep. You got I said that it was motioned by Steel to approve the making of the signs of the J. to Jackson County for the Jackson County insane asylum. Yes. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. Motion carries. Yeah. I think there's no problem here, Laura. But just so that we have coordination with Jeff and and he decides where he's going to put him and it's easy enough for us. Absolutely. That's our plan. We just got to the time schedule to meet. I I was just confused. I I read it, you know, I just got home and moved back and I No, I get it. That's fine. You let him know.

I was assuming I was coming by. I seen a billboard there. I'm going now. Does Jeff I'm assuming Jeff has a key to get in the port or who all has key? That's my understanding he has one in I think there is one in the office. Okay. And that at our last meeting when we were talking about it, he's in charge of any work we're doing, right? and he has the key which is to the building which is why we want to sit down with him and help him do a work plan and plan out where everything might go outside and so forth. Sounds good. I think we're on the same page. Thank you much. Appreciate your support. Y

next up we got County Engineers Office and Jaden Shekele. Jaden, you there? Yep, I'm here. Can you hear me? Yeah. Y Thank you. All righty. Uh first thing on the agenda is a resolution to open uh bridgemon 1331 which is actually the Morehead bridge. So last year when it closed we had a resolution to close it. Well now that the repairs have been made and the bridge is open we should have a official resolution to reopen the bridge back to its 15 ton weight restrictions. So uh that's what the first resolution is. So board our office recommends board approval. 1172.

I'll make a motion to go ahead and approve resolution 1172-03- What is today? 10-2026. I have a second. All right. We have a motion by N, second by Mike to approve resolution 1172-03-10-2026 for the reopening of Morehead Bridge. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. Motion carries.

Next is a resolution to approve the fiscical year 27 CFYP 5-year program and budget. So after we had our public hearing back in February, uh the 5-year program was submitted to the DOT. Uh they reviewed it and had very minimal comments. Uh no projects changed. So uh they made their approvals and that was their approvals were made on March 4th. So, now that they've made their approvals, it is now ready for your approval. Um, so our office recommends approval of the five-year program and associated budget. I move to approve. Second.

Got a motion by Mike, second by N to approve resolution 1173-03-10-2026 uh for the FY27 5-year road plan program and budget. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. Motion carries.

Uh, next is fiscal year 27 destination lighting. So, as part of our fiscal year 27 budget, we had in there for two destination lights, uh, similar as we did last year with our TIP grant where we had five of them. Um there the two lights, one will be at the intersection of Bernard Road and E17, which is actually where our over uh concrete overlay project is going to occur this summer. Uh just to guess we're doing that big of an improvement. Be nice to get that intersection lit and kind of do the get the road all looking nice when it's all said and done. Uh the next intersection would be Belleview Cascade Road and 113th Avenue which is the paved road that goes towards Leisure Lake. Um we solicited and received two bids for the intersection lighting uh same biders from last year. Uh one was Stickly Electric and the other was Beakler Electric. Uh the bids were very competitive. I think there was only a few hundred dollars that sep or a few hundred dollar that separated the two. Um the low bidder was uh Beakler Electric. So our office recommends approval of the project to the responsible responsible low bidder to Beer of Beer Electric.

I'll make a motion to approve. I would second. Got a motion by N. Second by Mike to approve the FY27 destination lighting uh project to Beer Electric out of Debuke. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. I opposed. Motion carries.

Uh next are just a couple utility permits. Uh the first one is an underground fiber optic from Preston Telephone Company. Um it's on 42nd Street, Fairfield Township, Section 21. They're proposing just to bore an underground fiber optic to serve. The address 34950 42nd Street. It'll be out to the edge of the rightway and it's all going to be bored. So our office sees no issues with it. So we recommend approval. They'll

move. I'd second that. Got a motion by Mike, second by n to approve a rightaway utility permit for Preston and Telephone Comp Company, Fairfield Township, section 21, 42nd Street. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. Motion carries.

And then last is a another utility permit for Makoka Valley Electric um in South Fork Township, section 5. Um it's on 93rd Street. It's a deadend road off of the Caves Road. Um it's for an overhead power line to serve a residence. Uh it's they have where they're going to place the poles approximately right at the right ofway or a couple feet right inside the right of way. Um pretty straightforward. So our office also recommends approval on this. I'd make a motion to approve.

I would second. Got a motion by Nen, second by Mike to approve the uh overhead power line utility permit uh rightaway utility permit from Makoka Valley Electric Cooperative in South Fork Township, section 5, 93rd Street, the overhead power line. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed.

Motion carries Mr. Um a brief update on Channelorth today. Assuming all goes as planned, they should be driving the first pile for um the North Pier. Uh they built their coffer dams over the last few weeks and they had some water come in the hole with the river rising here last week with the rain and snow melt from up north, but the waters have been receding. And again, if all goes as planned, they should be driving the first pile today hopefully. So awesome. So Jaden, Mike here is how many more intersections do we know of that are on hard service that we don't have destination lighting?

I believe there was 11 total. So last year we had five, that would take it down to six. So minus these two, that'd be about four if I'm not mistaken. I'd have to double check, but we should be less than six. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, we're gaining ground there and I sure appreciate that. I mean, again, that that was kind of odd. You got two of them on the um on the cascade that was one was lit, one was not, right? They're only a quarter mile apart from each other. So, it was it was nice to see that one lit. And also, that Leisure Lake one is also very dark. So, yeah.

Yeah. Because I know you have some at Well, there's one at 35th Street or what people call codfish. Um at that intersection with Highway 62, there's an unlit one. Uh Green Island Road and Highway 52 is an unlit one. Uh E17 and Z20 right where our Spring Brook shop is is unlit. Uh there's a couple others, but yeah, the plan is to start addressing these each year. And I don't know, maybe when it gets to fiscal year 28, we just see what we know what they've been costing us. Maybe we just budget and get them all finished. Well, you know, with that said, and I'm sure we discussed this last year when we did the intersection of Bel Cascade and 62, does the state contribute being half of I mean, it's on the state highway like 62 and Catfish. Did the state do anything with us with that?

Nope, they do not. 30 say they're going to resurface 62 from Andrew to Bel. sleep. And they should. It's a connection. I had a great to second it. Yeah. Anything else, Jaden? Nope. That's all I had. All right. We appreciate it, sir. Have a good day. Yep. Thanks. You, too. All right. We're cooking gas today. Lisa, you have the hel. Good morning. So, I need a motion this morning to approve the March 3rd, 2026 as written by Auditor Smith and authorized publication the official newspapers. I'll make that motion. I would second.

Got a motion by n second by Mike to approve the March 3rd, 2026 meeting minutes as written by Auditor Smith and authorized publication of the official newspapers. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed? Motion carries. I need a motion to approve and authorize the auditor's office to issue warrants of the publication of the claims listing in the amount of $232,299 one. So moved. I would second that.

Got a motion by Mike, second by N to approve and authorize the auditor's office to issue warrants on the publication of the claims listing in the amount of $232,2991. And there was some insurance in there and it looked like was it 18,000 for can't remember what it was. I thought there was some resupply in there some I forget it was conservation maybe they went and resupplied a bunch of stuff. It

well they did and they and I had called him on that because I had a concession asked where the materials come from and he told me about the bid that they had and we confirm that. So Okay. All right. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. Motion carries. I need a motion to approve the renewal of a class C retail alcohol license with outdoor service to Makoka Country Club at 1796133rd Street Makoka effective March 6, 2026 through March 5th, 2027. So moved.

Second. Got a motion by N, second by Mike to approve the renewal of a class E retail alcohol license and outdoor service to Makoka Country Club at 1796133rd Street Makoka effective March 6, 2026 through March 5th, 2027. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I opposed. Motion carries.

So last Tuesday was a special election for Makoka Community School District. It was a what they call a ple election or a physical plant and equipment levy election and it was basically to extend the time period of um of that levy. Um there was a potential 5,891 voters. Jackson County conducted the entire election for Clinton County and Debuke County. So what happened is if you have less than 125 voters in your county, you can say to the other county, we don't have enough. um you go ahead and do the election for us. So we did on behalf of Clinton and Debuke County and we did have a whopping 2.1% uh voter turnout between our between the absentee voter and who voted at the polls. We had 124 people participate in the election last week. So, I do have the abstract of the vote that I do need to canvas today and to certify this election. Um, of that 124 votes, there was 103 yes votes and there was 21 no votes. We did a post-election audit yesterday and everything turned out fine. So, we'd like to, I guess, make a make this a wrap for this election and we will forward this information on to the school district and to bond council for the school. So, um, with that being said, I would need a motion to approve the board of canvasers to certify and authorize board signatures on the true and correct abstract of votes cast in Jackson County at the March 3rd, 2026 special Makoka Community School District election as shown by the official abstract and further authorize Auditor Smith to forward the abstract as presented.

I would make that motion exactly as she said. That's exactly right. I would second that motion. Got a motion by N, second by Mike to approve the board of canvasers to certify the and authorize the board signatures on the true and correct abstracts of votes cast in the Jackson County at the March 3rd, 2026 special Makoka Community School District election as shown by the official abstract and further authorize the auditor Smith to forward the abstracts as presented. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed? Motion carries. That's all that I have for the board today.

Just a quick note, we talked about the the claims there a little bit. I just looked because I knew there was a 80,000 that 80,000 that went to uh uh conservation was to a contractor for the excavation and the finishing of the Bridgeport access, which is really a big improvement on the Bridgeport uh access out there where the where they did all the improvements. So that was that was well and and and I think it's kind of a pass through if I'm not mistaken. I think well he got I think they got about $65,000. So there was a little huge improvement out there. I mean even just looks

even just looking at it. Well, I just hope we can and talking to Nathan in coordination with the county engineers office as we redo bridges. Um, I hope we continue to include those kind of boat river accesses at any bridge that we have and I hope Nathan continues going up the up the stream a little bit and and kind of enhancing those because if you look at what goes on in Jones County, they have some rather extravagant um boat ramps that I think are way in excess. They look amazing. I mean, don't get me wrong, but I don't think we need to go that fancy, but it really enhances the river access to for the people and and tourism to the area. So, we need to encourage that. So,

yeah, that will that a lot has a lot of activity. You know, I really got to think about that at the Iron Bridge, too, when we get that all done.

I know they've included that. They didn't they didn't so much coordinate it with uh Chennworth Bridge, but Morehead Bridge, which we're trying to get done. There's a river access there that he said they can try to incorporate. We look at maybe Royertown, Canton seems to be on the list. Supbridge, which is just north of Canton. The South Fork has a lot of activity. North Fork usually is fairly, you know, I've even had some people say, well, if you're going to enhance the South Fork, maybe leave the North Fork as kind of more primitive, you know, authentic experience versus the modern convenience type of thing. But the North Fork's a lot more shallow, I think, and it's not quite as conducive to float floating as much. So,

um, but we look at even the Davidson bridge access just on the North Fork just before they come together. That'd be a nice way, you know. So, no, hopefully they keep that going, but Bridgeport is an amazing. It'll be curious to see how much use it gets this. I know I seen that number in there and it stuck out a little bit, but it was a major part of the claim this time otherwise. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Boards or commissions? Um, all I can say is I that all the side steel is on the place authority building and about half of the roof steel. So nice. Come on along.

I do we did get a word from Jeff that the senior center should be open and accessible at least twothirds of it or threequarters of it or whatever. So we he passed the word on to them to get they can start utilizing a good portion of the building. That'll be a nice little addition to get them back where they are. And uh I got nothing else. Yeah, I have nothing. Um the only one Hey, a huge shout out to the Cardinal girls. Yeah, that was awesome. The true testament to resilience and determination. I tell you what, I Yeah, that was uh that was awesome. The way they pulled back, you know, after they were down by 14 15 points.

That that's work in progress there. So, and we want to shout out to the Belleview teams. I guess they're both both the Belleview boys teams, class 1A. Um they were made the news last night.
