Key Items on the Agenda
Personnel and Human Resources

- A correction to the resignation date for Corrections Officer Brant Beaston.
- The resignation of Park Ranger Katelyn Hicks.
- The 2018 Master manual and amendment of HIPAA Policies & Procedures.
The packet lists these matters but does not provide additional details about the proposed HIPAA policy amendments.
Environmental Health representative Elizabeth Townsend and Zoning Administrator Becca Pflughaupt are scheduled to present a GovWell Technologies Inc order form for discussion and possible action.
The agenda does not state the cost, contract term, or specific services associated with the order form.
Residential Entrance Permit
County Engineer Jayden Scheckel is scheduled to present an entrance permit for discussion and possible action:
- Phil Denlinger
- Otter Creek Township, Section 1
- 194th Avenue
- Residential
No additional conditions or engineering details for the permit are included in the packet text.
Joint Purchase of Soil Stabilizer Equipment
The Engineer's agenda includes discussion and possible action on a joint county purchase of soil stabilizer equipment.
The packet does not identify the other participating county or counties, the equipment cost, proposed cost-sharing arrangement, or purchasing timeline.
Auditor Items
Auditor Alisa Smith is scheduled to present four matters for discussion and possible action:
- August 25, 2026 meeting minutes.
- Corny Beer Store, LLC Class “B” Retail Alcohol License Renewal.
- Inspiration Stables Class “C” Retail Alcohol License Renewal.
- Groth Service contract — Andrew Jackson Care Wastewater Treatment Facility.
The agenda does not provide contract pricing, renewal terms, or other supporting financial details for these items.
Work Session and Board Business
The agenda includes a work session with the Pioneer Cemetery Commission. No specific work-session topics or proposed actions are identified in the packet.
The supervisors are also scheduled for Board & Commission reports, followed by opportunities to address unfinished business involving tabled or pending items and to identify new items for future meeting agendas.
Two topics are separately listed near the end of the agenda:
- County budget — Senior Ctr Bd lease
- Prairie Creek project — JC Historical Society lease
The packet does not provide additional explanation of these topics or specify a proposed action.
What to Watch at the Meeting
Several agenda items are potentially consequential but have limited supporting detail in the packet. Points to watch include the substance of the proposed HIPAA policy amendments, the purpose and terms of the GovWell Technologies order form, and the financial structure of the proposed joint purchase of soil stabilizer equipment.
The Groth Service contract and the two lease-related topics may also warrant attention because the packet identifies them without providing financial terms or detailed proposals. The Pioneer Cemetery Commission work session similarly appears on the agenda without an accompanying description of the issues to be addressed.
The agenda notes that items are not listed in a specific order and may be rearranged as needed.
Upcoming Board Calendar
The public calendar identifies another Board of Supervisors agenda for Tuesday, September 8, 2026, beginning with Visitors & Citizens at 9:00 a.m. That calendar entry anticipates Engineer agenda items, Auditor agenda items and claims, and Board & Commission reports.
