Johnson County Board of Supervisors Packet Summary — 2026-09-08
Meeting: Board of Supervisors - Canvass of Votes September 08, 2026 - 10:00 AM
The Johnson County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to meet at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, for a special meeting focused on the canvass of votes from the September 1, 2026 Lisbon-Mt. Vernon Area EMS District Special Election.
Key Item on the Agenda
Canvass of Votes
The central business item is the canvass of votes for the September 1, 2026 Lisbon-Mt. Vernon Area EMS District Special Election. The packet identifies the election and the canvass as the substantive agenda item but does not provide election totals, candidate or ballot results, or a proposed canvass outcome.
Because this is a pre-meeting packet, the agenda establishes that the Board is scheduled to conduct the canvass; it does not document the Board's final action or the certified election results.
Public Participation
The agenda includes Business from the Public, with public comment limited to three minutes per speaker and directed to the Chairperson.
The meeting is open to the public and is scheduled for Boardroom 301, Health & Human Services Building, 855 S. Dubuque St., Iowa City. The packet also provides options to view the meeting by livestream, participate electronically through Zoom, or listen by telephone.
Written comments may be submitted to sups@johnsoncountyiowa.gov. The packet notes that public comment is at the Chairperson's discretion and that, because of public-meeting requirements, the Board may only discuss or act on matters presented on the agenda.
What to Watch at the Meeting
The principal action to watch is the Board's canvass of the September 1 special election. The packet does not contain the vote totals or results that will be presented for canvassing, so those details cannot be determined from the packet materials alone.
After the canvass and other scheduled agenda business, the Board is scheduled to adjourn. The agenda states that the next Board of Supervisors meeting is scheduled for September 9 at 9:00 a.m.
