Boone County Board of Supervisors Packet Summary — 2026-07-08
Meeting: Board of Supervisors Meeting
Agenda date: Wednesday, July 8, 2026
The Boone County Board of Supervisors’ tentative agenda includes routine consent items, quarterly and year-end financial reports, temporary alcohol-license applications, a disabled-veteran property-tax credit application, drainage matters, a proposed subdivision plat, and a closed session concerning litigation strategy. The packet also schedules a separate evening public hearing on the Drainage District #112 reclassification report.
Key Items on the Agenda
Burkhart Farms Preliminary Plat
At 9:30 a.m., Planning & Development Director Mike Salati is scheduled to present Resolution 26-25, which would accept the preliminary plat of Burkhart Farms, Boone County, Iowa. The agenda calls for the Board to consider approval of the resolution; it does not document a final decision.
Drainage District #112
The regular agenda includes discussion of the Drainage District #112 Reclassification Public Hearing. A separate Drainage District #112 Reclassification Report Public Hearing is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on July 8, with all three supervisors listed.
Closed Session on Litigation Strategy
County Attorney Matt Speers and Planning & Development Director Mike Salati are scheduled for an 8:30 a.m. closed session under Iowa Code 21.5(c). The cited provision concerns strategy with counsel in current or imminent litigation when disclosure could prejudice or disadvantage the governmental body's position.
Consent Agenda
The packet states that consent-agenda items are intended to be handled through one motion unless a request for separate discussion is made before the Board votes. Scheduled items include:
- Approval of previous meeting minutes.
- Review and placement on file of the Boone County Treasurer’s Annual Report of Funds.
- Review and placement on file of the Auditor’s Report of Fees Collected for the 4th Quarter of FY26.
- Review and placement on file of the Departmental Budget Status by Service Area for June 2026.
- Review and placement on file of the County Recorder’s Report of Fees Collected for the 4th Quarter of FY26.
- Consideration of a 5 Day Special Class C Retail Alcohol License and Outdoor Service application for Thirsty Pigs LLC, covering July 20–24, 2026.
- Consideration of the same class of temporary license and outdoor service for Sassy Lemonade Slushes LLC, covering July 21–25, 2026.
- Consideration of signing a 2026 Application for Disabled Veterans Homestead Property Tax Credit for Neill Stark, as recommended by the Boone County Assessor.
- Approval of claims and issuance of warrants.
- Approval of drainage claims and issuance of drainage warrants.
What to Watch at the Meeting
The most substantive scheduled actions outside the routine consent business are the proposed acceptance of the Burkhart Farms preliminary plat, discussion related to Drainage District #112, and the litigation-related closed session. The evening drainage-district public hearing is separately scheduled for 6:00 p.m., making it an additional opportunity for public proceedings on the reclassification report.
The agenda also provides for Board-member reports and discussion on issues supervisors need to share with one another. The packet does not specify particular topics for that portion of the meeting.
Public Access
The packet states that Board meetings are open to the public except when a closed meeting is necessary or advisable for purposes described under Iowa Code Chapter 21. It also says members of the public may address the Board without an appointment while it is in session if they are willing to wait for an unscheduled agenda time.
The agenda includes Zoom participation information for the meeting.
