Leachate Forcemain Project Change Order
Following a scheduled 9:30 a.m. departmental update from Landfill Administrator John Roosa, the Board is expected to consider Change Order #3 for the Leachate Forcemain Project for $12,020.09. The agenda does not provide additional detail about the work covered by the proposed change order.
Scenic Valley Acreage Preliminary Plat
At 10:00 a.m., Mike Salati of Planning & Development is scheduled to appear before the Board. The agenda calls for consideration of Resolution 26-33, which would accept the preliminary plat of Scenic Valley Acreage LLC at 1447 285th Ln, Madrid.
Public Petition
The agenda includes an item to discuss and consider action on a public petition received. The packet does not identify the petitioner, subject of the petition, or proposed action, so the agenda provides limited information about what the Board will consider.
Personnel and Consent Agenda
The consent agenda is structured for approval through a single motion unless an item is pulled for separate discussion before the Board votes. Along with approval of previous meeting minutes, the agenda includes several personnel actions.
- Consider accepting the resignation of Luccas Hart, Seasonal Conservation, effective August 22, 2026.
- Consider accepting the resignation of Julie Hinman, Auditor’s Office, effective September 11, 2026.
- Consider a pay adjustment for Tyler McCumber, Secondary Roads, to $31.75 per hour, effective September 9, 2026, for a two-year step.
- Consider a pay adjustment for Kyle Keigley, Secondary Roads, associated with promotion to Foreman at $36.16 per hour, effective August 30, 2026.
- Consider approval of county claims and issuance of warrants.
- Consider approval of drainage claims and issuance of drainage warrants.
Proclamation and Departmental Update
The Board is scheduled to receive a Landfill departmental update from John Roosa at 9:30 a.m. The agenda also schedules a Recovery Month Proclamation for 9:45 a.m.
What to Watch at the Meeting
Several agenda items could involve substantive Board action or additional explanation during the meeting:
- The terms and future-responsibility provisions associated with the proposed Joint Drainage District Boone 140/Story 7 crossing easement.
- The purpose and scope of the $12,020.09 Leachate Forcemain Project Change Order #3.
- Details of the public petition, which are not included in the agenda.
- Consideration of Resolution 26-33 concerning the preliminary plat for Scenic Valley Acreage LLC.
- The proposed Secondary Roads personnel changes, including the foreman promotion and two-year-step pay adjustment.
Because this is a pre-meeting agenda, these items are scheduled for consideration; the packet does not establish that the Board ultimately approved or rejected them.
Public Access
The agenda states that Boone County Board of Supervisors meetings are generally held on Wednesdays beginning at 9:00 a.m. and are open to the public unless a closed meeting is necessary or advisable for purposes described under Iowa Code Chapter 21. It also states that 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.
