3:22•BRIAN ARNOLD

Aye. Arma? Aye. Item number two, consider approval of ARPA funded project with possible action.

4:09 – 4:21•BRIAN ARNOLD

Right, and I think she had expenses beyond that, but this is just the portion that's paid out of the ARPA funds, so I think she had some additional, but this is just what's coming out of ARPA, this amount, I think.

5:19•BRIAN ARNOLD

I think it's just the 15, I don't think she has any ARPA funds left. So I don't know what that.

5:33 – 6:01•BRIAN ARNOLD

We can approve the 15 today, and if more come up later, then I guess we'll have to do a similar as we're doing tonight. But I'm pretty sure this is just the amount coming out of the ARPA funds. I think she had additional invoices that she was just paying out of her regular budget. Okay. Yeah. But if it comes up again as needed, we'll bring it back, but we could probably just do the, it's just for 15 for this one tonight, yeah.

6:15 – 7:19•BRIAN ARNOLD

Aye. Aye. Item number three is approving the claims of $1,444,000, sorry, $1,444,591.96. Motion to approve. Second. Okay. McIntyre? Aye. Erickson? Aye. McCook? Aye. Aye. Aye. Item number four, pursuant to Iowa Code 331.384 and Warren County Book of Ordinances Chapter 22, Consider Warren County ordinance and notice of abatement for 5568 R57 Highway, Norwalk with possible action. Hi Kelly. Hi. What news do you have for us on this property?

9:29•BRIAN ARNOLD

No problem. We don't have any, we're not up against any timelines, deadlines, anything like that nature, okay? So we'll just tape.

9:42 – 10:27•BRIAN ARNOLD

We'll table that to the next meeting. Item number six, consider the following staffing request for the nutrition department with possible action. Looks like job reclassification for Randy Thomas, full-time assistant cook, effective 7-21-2026, I would note the, that's an extra zero there, in a post to hire a part-time employee to fill vacancy. Would you like to come and tell us about this, I suppose, Marty? How are you? Good, how are you guys? Okay, good.

11:08•BRIAN ARNOLD

Nope, they're not new positions. It's just filling positions as they come open. Yeah, okay.

12:20 – 12:35•BRIAN ARNOLD

It's not a job, well, it's not a reclassification of the job. He's just moving to a different job. Yeah, I think maybe the job reclassification is what's throwing some of us, but it's not. It's the same job it was before. It's just a different person.

17:44 – 18:01•BRIAN ARNOLD

That's a good budget report. I appreciate the updates and We're actually, I mean, I'd like to see that holding the line on the spending and also the increasing fund balances both combined, those are all good figures.

19:10•BRIAN ARNOLD
