Meeting: 09/09/2026 - 05:30 PM Special Meeting Public Hearing Board Meeting
Scheduled time: 5:30 p.m.
Location: Administration Center Board Room, Grimes, Iowa
The Dallas Center Grimes Community Schools Board is scheduled to hold a public hearing and consider conveying an electric distribution line easement to MidAmerican Energy Company for the video board project at Dallas Center-Grimes High School. The agenda also includes a special-education interagency agreement and a recommendation concerning an open-enrollment application.
Key Items on the Agenda
Electric Distribution Line Easement
The board is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the proposed conveyance of an interest in district property for an electric distribution line easement connected to the high school video board project. The hearing will provide an opportunity for questions, comments, and objections, including any objections submitted in writing.
Following the hearing, the board is scheduled to consider a resolution conveying the easement to MidAmerican Energy Company for “good and valuable consideration.” The proposed easement crosses part of the property locally identified as 2555 W 1st Street and legally described as Lot 1 of Dallas Center-Grimes High School Plat 1 in Grimes, Dallas County.
If adopted, the resolution would:
- Authorize the board president and secretary to sign the conveyance documents.
- Permit the board president, secretary, superintendent, and district administrative officers to take actions needed to complete the transaction.
- Convey the property interest through an easement agreement.
The resolution included in the packet is a proposed action document with blank spaces for attendance, objections, the motion, the second, and the roll-call vote. It does not document a completed vote or final approval.
Open-Enrollment Application
The agenda includes a recommendation to deny an open-enrollment-out application identified by the initials E.H. The stated reason is that the application was filed late without good cause.
This is a recommended action scheduled for board consideration, not a documented final decision.
Special-Education Interagency Agreement
The consent agenda includes an interagency agreement involving one student attending Sioux City Community School District outside the district. The packet text does not provide financial terms or further details about the agreement.
Meeting Administration
The board is scheduled to acknowledge a quorum and consider approval of the agenda as published or amended. The packet notes that any addition to the published agenda requires an explanation of why the addition is needed.
The special meeting is scheduled to conclude with consideration of a motion to adjourn.
What to Watch at the Meeting
- Whether any written or oral objections are presented during the easement public hearing.
- Whether the board approves, modifies, or declines the proposed easement resolution.
- Whether the district provides additional information about the easement’s terms or its relationship to the high school video board project.
- How the board acts on the recommended denial of the late open-enrollment application.
- Whether additional terms are provided for the special-education interagency agreement.
