Board of Supervisors - Regular Meeting

We are gathered for an ordinary meeting of the Council.

May I have a nominal appeal for the presences?

Presence. As each time, we begin today's meeting with the sermon of allegiance.

I swear allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic which it represents.

The nation under the law of God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. We have no retreat from the order of the day. Today, the first point concerns our order of the day by consent. All elements of the order of the day by consent will be adopted in one motion. We have received complaints of a amount of 258 dollars. Our second point is to receive and classify the following payments of the Council of Conservation of the County of Warren for Brady Meyers and Sawyer Chapman. Point C, approve the payment for Madison Smith at the Office of the County Prosecutor. Fix a public hearing date on September 15, 2026 at 4 p.m. for a second reading. et une deuxième lecture le 6 octobre 2026 à 9 heures et une troisième lecture le 20 octobre 2026 pour examiner un changement de zonage pour greg et barbara crew l'agriculture fixer une date d'audience publique au 15 septembre 2026 to examine a correctional amendment to the zoning limit and to the legal description established by Ordinances N° 490Z and 500Z and Resolutions N° 26190. To approve a 5-day C-class alcohol license for a barcode LLC price, located at Backner Farms, 1707 28th Avenue at Indianola and approve a 5-day alcohol license for BIPOC Bar Company LLC. Located at Prelude Food at 2063 Down 35th Avenue, New Virginia. A motion to approve the complaints. Number 2 this morning, examine the road closure request submitted by Marie Brown with Action Possible. Tim, do you have any comments? I think she just wants to close Jewel in front of the field. We are going to close access by the 150th, so that they enter and exit only by the highway 92, the main entrance. It is therefore a first attempt. I do not think that anyone knows what the traffic will be, but it will not be like the field of the Montgolfiers, with thousands of people who go and come at the same time.

Is it a kind of haunted house?

A temporary closure.

So it's important. So I have you for an event. Just keep this route so that we can cross the Jouel street without danger. People should go. I know that the people in the corner are not necessarily happy with the traffic on the gravel. So we try to keep everyone on the road. We have discussed for a long time. We have no concerns about the current situation. We will continue to monitor during the event and if problems arise.

I find it really exciting. I can't wait to see it. I propose to approve.

Point number 3. Examine the request of the communication director to approve a post of the distributors with possible actions.

I simply ask to approve the post.

I have a distributor who has resigned and I would just like to replace him.

I propose to approve the request of the communication director to approve a post of the distributors.

Point number 4 this morning, budget report. What do you have for us this morning, Megane?

Very well, we are examining the month of July. Le premier mois du nouvel exercice financier, nous devrions avoir consommé environ 8% du budget. En regardant les dépenses, le premier a 10,84 $ auprès des affaires des anciens combattants. Actuellement, ils ont dépensé 50% de leurs allocations en espèces et 20% de paiement de loyers budgétés pour cette année. Je vais donc surveiller cela et en discuter avec le chef de service. Médicins légistes y sont à 11,58 PNJM. C'est un poste vraiment difficile à prévoir. Je me base simplement sur les données historiques. Je continuerai donc à surveiller et nous avons dû modifier ce poste par le passé selon le déroulement de l'exercice fiscal. Ensuite, les services généraux. Celui-ci est toujours élevé en ce premier mois de l'exercice car nous effectuons un paiement d'assurance. Nothing to worry about at the moment. Globally, the budget is at 6.55%, so a little below 8%. So it seems to be off to a good start. For the expenses, looking at the revenues, our global revenues are a little low at 3%. Most of the time, it's a calendar problem. Even so, the only thing that worried me a little was the 5% treasury. C'est là que se trouve la plus grosse part de leurs revenus, les intérêts. Mais il y a eu un paiement, une distribution qui a été imputée sur les revenus. Cela arrive chaque année. L'année dernière, c'est arrivé en août. C'est donc pour ça que les revenus de l'année dernière semblent plus élevés. So I'm not too concerned about the interests at the moment. It seems that it is practically at the same level as last year and in line with the budget. But I will continue to monitor this to be sure. Once again, the rest is mainly a matter of ... calendar. Le calendrier du transfer de base, le calendrier du paiement du bureau du shérif pour les projets d'immobilisation de la nutrition, c'est le calendrier de réception. Des subventions, les services généraux, c'est pareil. Divers autres remboursements. Et enfin, notre département non-EP, c'est juste le calendrier de réception des taxes foncières. Donc, nous semblons bas, mais la plupart des raisons pour lesquelles c'est bas à ce stade ? so early in the fiscal year are logical. Finally, by examining our fund balance, once again, this seems good too, the base general fund is at an increase of 5% compared to last year. The additional general fund is at an increase of 48%. The ones that are decreasing are the ones I was expecting. The update of the administrative building obviously reduces expenses as well as for the meal, secondary roads, equipment replacement expenses and immobilization project funds. All this was therefore expected. In total, the fund balance is at an increase of 10.14% compared to the same period last year.

Yes, it was really low last July.

C'est pour ça que ça semble si énorme. C'est juste parce que c'était très bas. Et puis, juste une petite mise à jour concernant le prochain exercice fiscal. Encore une fois, ce sont des estimations très approximatives. Donc, avec les dispositions que nous avons eues cette année, il semble que nous aurions probablement obtenu environ 680 zérines dollars en dollars fiscaux supplémentaires pour l'exercice 20. Encore une fois, ce sont des estimations très approximatives, mais avec le nouveau dossier du Sénat, il semble que nous serions plutôt autour de 400 zérines dollars en dollars fiscaux supplémentaires. Juste pour comparer, cette année, nous visons 921 zérines dollars. So it seems that next year we will have a fairly significant drop in additional tax dollars that we will receive compared to the previous year. And then just a little information about the principal residence loan. I have not yet found how to estimate this, but this year we will receive the full distribution For the fiscal year 2028, we will have two thirds of the usual distribution. Then for the year 2029, it will be one third. And in 2030, there will be no more credit refunds. I hope to determine exactly how. I mean, I would have a better idea at the time of receiving our second payments this year, in November and March, to be able to compare with what We have to wait for next year.

A question about line 4 of the current form on which we are working on the subject of the commissioner of the prison. Ryan and I talked about it last week. The amount remains blocked at $ 37,250. It never changes in the report. I know that this is one of the points raised by the audit. Do we know where Joe is regarding the transfer of this other bank account? Do you know how much it is?

I don't remember the amount. They just sent me the bank transfer. They are making a transfer that they submit to the auditors. But all of this is done outside of our Tyler and Hope system.

N'est-ce pas ce que l'auditeur de l'État a dit, à savoir que nous devions le réintégrer ? Il doit être réintégré dans notre système.

According to my audit reading, all these additional funds are supposed to be returned to the general fund.

I'm not quite sure.

I'm not quite sure. We might have to spend them for... I think they must be dedicated to specific activities.

Regarding this very important salary...

Je sais qu'ils ont utilisé ce fonds par le passé pour aider à payer le véhicule de transport. Donc, s'ils économisent pour quelque chose comme ça, je peux comprendre qu'il y a un solde important. En fait, il semble qu'il y a un solde final de plus de son 0 également.

31,07.

Thank you. Point number 5, reception and deposit of the reports of the office of the former combatants.

Je propose d'accepter et de déposer le rapport des anciens combattants.

Appuie.

Appel nominal.

Point numéro 6.

Rapport des superviseurs. Y a-t-il des rapports des superviseurs pour quoi que ce soit ? I just have a very brief message. There is a meeting on September 10, 2026 at 5 p.m. with the supervisor Arnold, myself and a part of the delegation of Indianola concerning the evaluation of the library and the discussion to come. It is a subject that interests people and I continue to receive calls and letters from time to time. Thank you for your attention.

Supervisor, someone else.

In the absence of other interventions, we move on to point 7, the comments of the public. The interventions will be limited to 3 minutes per person. The Council will not take any measures following these comments due to the laws on public meetings, but could do so in the future. No intervention of the public will be authorized on the points of order of today. I'm Joe Consul, C-O-U-N-C-E-L. On behalf of 12 ownership owners and for the fifth time, I ask for the supervisor's help to force the zoning administrator, Becky Schultz, to carry out her duty to apply the zoning as required by the law. In January, his attorney, lawyer Kelly Maier, rejected our application request for zoning on a property in infraction in our neighborhood. In April, we called for the rejection of Maier to the Adjustment Council, which voted to cancel its decision and ordered the zoning administrator to apply for the ordinance for our property in infraction. But after four months of continued illegal use of the property, we discovered that Schultz resorted to Kelly Mayer, who illegally refused to comply with the order of the council to apply the ordinance. By rejecting our application request for zoning, Kelly Mayer declared that as a zone A property, it is exempt from the application of zoning. Yes, you heard Kelly Mayer after the code 335 of the IOWA. Known under the name of the law on the freedom to exploit a farm, any property A is exempt from the application of zoning. Better, apparently presumed, that we ignore that the law on the freedom to exploit a farm only exempts the farms from the application of zoning. This property is not a farm and is therefore not exempt from the application of zoning. She also stated that the property did not violate any provisions of the ordinance, while in fact the ordinance forbids specifically that a zone A property be used like this one, that is to say for commercial activities, a break, storage, recovery operations and camping. Meilleur claimed that his rejection of our request depended largely on the opinion of the lawyer of the county, E. Colts, but without saying that he was in agreement with it. We have therefore called on the decision of Kelly Maier to reject our request to the adjustment committee, which quickly voted to cancel its decision. A member of the committee, who happens to be an aggrieved lawyer, has declared for the bill. I quote Kelly, I'm sorry, but you're wrong. This property is clearly in violation of the ordinance. Le comité d'ajustement a alors ordonné à l'administrateur du zonage d'agir à l'encontre de la propriété. Elle a bien soumis l'avis de violation au propriétaire, la société. Carlo Trier leur a donné 30 jours pour mettre fin à l'utilisation illégale de la propriété, puis a chargé Kelly Mayer de poursuivre la procédure. But after more than 4 months, the only change concerning the illegal use of the property is that more equipment and big commercial trucks have been delivered. We have no news from the business administrator. We have had no news from the zoning administrator on the reasons for which this has occurred or not. She sent us back to Kelly Mayer, who simply stated, I quote, This office will not take any additional measures and considers this matter as a clause. End of quote. Okay, I think it was the sign. Five minutes. Thank you. Well, if we lose our bread to ask the Empire, Hello, Susan King, 370 Wilson Street, New Virginia, Iowa.

J'ai moi aussi un litige de zonage et je tiens en fait à vous remercier tous ainsi que Kelly et Becky Schultz d'avoir envoyé les lettres au nouveau Pioneer Gun Club pour tenter de les faire cesser leurs activités. Je suis simplement ici pour dire qu'ils n'ont pas encore donné suite à cela et qu'ils continuent à tirer. I know they have a tournament this weekend and they have several tournaments in September and October. So we simply ask the council to continue to follow this and to stay on their backs until this case is closed.

My name is Bilbo. I live at 7323R57 Highway. The shared alley has lowered the value of my two properties. On August 27, I sent by email to my real estate agent a red line of access that you now have in the file accompanied by the photo showing the engineer's red dot located in the middle of the alley where it meets the limit of the service so that it can possibly be included on my sales site. Let's see the photos. The real estate agent replied. I think the shared alley rendra plus difficile la vente de votre terrain au prix que nous avons fixé. Quoi que ce soit, on dit qu'il n'existe pas de procédure pour soumettre une demande d'entrée au Conseil une fois qu'elle a été refusée, donc cette option est exclue. J'ai prouvé le contraire par les e-mails récents que je vous ai envoyés, ainsi qu'au procureur du comté de Warren, indiquant que les lois de l'Iowa et les codes MSA permettent bel et bien une révision si de nouvelles circonstances sont apparues. De plus, le dossier n'est pas passé devant le conseil de recours comme la loi l'exige. Je suis convaincu que si vous aviez su que l'allée partagée ne respectait pas non plus les codes de l'ingénieur car elle s'était étendue sur l'emprise, vous auriez accepté ma proposition d'entrée frontale. En ce qui concerne ma réunion avec l'ingénieur, EM, toi, toi. A l'époque, je me disais que s'il n'acceptait pas mon plan d'élargir l'entrée sur l'emprise, ce qui a été refusé plusieurs fois par l'ingénieur et le service d'urbanisme, mon terrain serait enclavé sans aucun accès. I had not realized that it was a baffled and definitive agreement that could not be modified. So he should have introduced me so that I could decide if the frontal axis with a separation of 200 feet was preferable to the option of widening on the grip. As you can see on your plans, I drew the entrance before. And it's much better. This is not only important to get a better price for my property with this front entrance. This also corresponds to the existing properties along the R57 highway. This would be less restrictive and would also give a better aesthetic aspect to the R57 as a whole. I am aware that you have the last word, even if the appropriate legal procedure, first passing through the advisory board, had been followed. The easiest way is simply to re-examine my request and give me this front access.

Here is what the procedure was like.

You refused my front entry because the engineer said that the shared address would work during the meeting on the day of the 7,026th. I did not manage to join the engineer by phone or by email to explain to me the operation of the access until MD intervenes to organize a meeting on August 18, or more than a month later. We all received two days later an email from Warren's accounting office indicating that your separate access request was rejected for the reasons exposed by an accounting engineer and that the accounting office considered the matter as a close-up. I used to give my clients a 33-day delay on a contract and I called the next day saying I made a mistake assuming that this current proposal would be taken into account. Je sais que j'ai dépassé mon temps de parole, mais Cristal, vous aviez mentionné qu'il était impossible de faire passer des véhicules d'urgence dans des endroits comme celui-là. Eh bien, vous ne pourrez pas faire passer un véhicule d'urgence et le faire tourner. C'est tout simplement évident que ce n'est pas adapté. Whatever it is, that's my point of view on the question. You mentioned that you were examining the situation several times when I took the floor. And it's because everything was a little... wrong at the level. Thank you very much. Does anyone else want to speak? We have a microphone for you. Bonjour. Nom et adresse, s'il vous plaît.

Bonjour. Je m'appelle Karen Quick. 24h14, R45 in New Virginia. Je vais parler directement de ce qui s'est passé dans notre ferme. À cause des tirs amplifiés de samedi et dimanche, qui étaient plus bruyants que jamais au club de tir, Nous venions juste de ramener à la maison notre étalon d'un an. Il était chez les dresseurs à la foire et était donc absent depuis six semaines. Alors, quand ils ont commencé à tirer dimanche matin, nous avons eu beaucoup de mal à l'empêcher de défoncer la clôture.

Ce serait une grande perte pour nous.

Bref, nous avons réussi à gérer la situation. Je voulais simplement que vous soyez conscient qu'il s'agit d'une situation difficile et nous espérons que vous pourrez faire respecter l'arrêt des tirs rapidement.

D'accord, puisqu'il n'y en a pas, la date de notre prochaine réunion sera le 15 septembre 2026 à 16h. Deuxième appel nominé. Nous sommes merci.

Thank you.
