An interview committee has met with at least one candidate and may hold another interview before finalizing a recommendation. Board members said the committee expects to present a recommendation for board action at the May 13 meeting. Staff referenced county code sections that prescribe posting and notice requirements for filling a vacancy and noted there is a statutory window during which citizens can petition for an election following an appointment.

Supervisors also clarified that an appointed candidate must satisfy the county residency requirement before being sworn in; appointment alone does not make the candidate immediately effective in office.

A motion to proceed with notice to fill the county attorney position by appointment was made (motion from Schulte, support from Helmer) and approved by the board.","The Osceola County Board of Supervisors authorized staff to proceed with notice that the board intends to fill the county attorney vacancy by appointment; the interview committee expects to forward a recommendation at the May 13 meeting and the appointee must meet residency requirements before taking office.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6227075,"Supervisors authorize up to $2,500 for county wellness incentives from health insurance fund",107,681000,788330,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3494682-10471a7be92cd31dbe6071d859d6436a&start=681&end=788","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3494682-10471a7be92cd31dbe6071d859d6436a/thumbnail_681000.jpg","/articles/6227075/Osceola-County/Iowa/Supervisors-authorize-up-to-2500-for-county-wellness-incentives-from-health-insurance-fund","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6227075-3025e03241ed5a258a28c9c3214de02a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180968&Signature=DIHAFNtuIy0Ojb2ZUJYXANRwY9Rf105rU7-M7U4Qve01GaS4e0ZKZMpG8~koDjo8RZOM0~uouRXaPBoJXQ1i6sqx8WKd1eJRrslAwoFs64uqTA9ewVwfnsPOfBY7D-kUdL-x2g5141dpbJdarY8VhPqZh45VeZSQng6lfd6An3cRAQu-m~MPLs1HuseSI-I3MjxWJAY0OO7SEoOo-hDZUF0wgixoBFd58WwjndRH2L4p87lY9DfZfF1DQ5Mw-gsTFLPouzWmybcgpn63prsvbSQaBZLdxy8eUHGu9fRlNjbrMWK1wIkBBkQHwSGSKBwst5Tn-h1m67yBkUs9muoyPA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Osceola County Board of Supervisors authorized up to $2,500 from the county’s health insurance fund to support the wellness committee’s local incentive program, matching a similar allocation made the prior year.

A representative of the wellness committee requested funds “similar to last year” to use as incentives. Staff explained the health insurance fund accumulated a balance after the county switched to high-deductible/HSA plans; premiums fell but county-held funding for premiums remained at prior levels, creating available funds.

Supervisor Schulte moved to authorize up to $2,500 from the health insurance fund and Supervisor Loring provided support. The motion carried on an aye vote recorded by the board.

The board recorded the allocation as a maximum amount; supervisors noted the committee may not spend the full $2,500 and that the funds are to be used for wellness incentives and related local programming.","The board authorized a one-time allocation of up to $2,500 from the county health insurance fund to support the wellness committee’s local incentive program.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6227076,"Board transfers funds to cover jail remodel payment, approves Resolution 47",60,520420,581000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3494682-10471a7be92cd31dbe6071d859d6436a&start=520&end=581","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3494682-10471a7be92cd31dbe6071d859d6436a/thumbnail_520420.jpg","/articles/6227076/Osceola-County/Iowa/Board-transfers-funds-to-cover-jail-remodel-payment-approves-Resolution-47","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6227076-c1472cebdc791cd877817b4a729d1d65/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180968&Signature=EhyNyqRCowZPOayDi6UsWpnap7HHhelOqcjLaljK23VPGW27-StENza8R2FrT3qqv3~BfSeEPy0huhKdbX1OU68nj71osnxkuWyfzr3SfuG~JG0Xwu1pC7fXhEfZ3igx5j7jiGpXzpoLPkWc2u8~aGY8c85z7FzzAxgeLPIfFYEHJjjoe0deTxCHrx3ER9Kp8grYeSKeTSnox3U0kR7DjIAXcFjlyqUjCAwsBUDr7HQY-onau0hebI~vq0CZU18Cir8ipRnN2AJWrUe8~wcuyuuyimiDXjx2LdFLfhzntcelW~KxT28JPG-JGZ8qBR9QhV6Zr92f~b9ygn2BNco6lw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Osceola County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 47, authorizing a transfer from the county’s general basic fund to cover an upcoming principal and interest payment linked to the jail remodel.

At the meeting, a supervisor explained that the county did not levy for a forthcoming June 1 principal and interest payment for the jail remodel, so the board must move money from the general basic fund to cover the obligation. The amount discussed in the record was stated as $150,600 (spoken as “a hundred 50 thousand 6 hundred dollars”).

A motion to approve Resolution 47 was made by Supervisor Helmer with support from Supervisor Devore; the board voted in favor. The board did not change the underlying debt or levy; the action was a budget transfer to ensure the June 1 payment is funded.

The resolution was presented and approved during the meeting’s consent/disbursement section; supervisors recorded ayes when asked to vote.","The Osceola County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 47 to transfer funds from the general basic fund to cover a principal and interest payment tied to the jail remodel project.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6227077,"Osceola County approves April pay application, supervisors press for clearer change-order process",487,2401,489780,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3494682-10471a7be92cd31dbe6071d859d6436a&start=2&end=489","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3494682-10471a7be92cd31dbe6071d859d6436a/thumbnail_2401.jpg","/articles/6227077/Osceola-County/Iowa/Osceola-County-approves-April-pay-application-supervisors-press-for-clearer-change-order-process","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6227077-61aa79606d0d5a84da3d2769ab4cb75d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180968&Signature=nKYHBeCJl6j9s9qUipYuj~9rcZZ02ATH9C96~G6sGE0Af6lNKnTN69ETmmaMFoOLa02i3jxWlcPJy72w6cpELALp7ysIu~2rEnWtKFjSWQRoeqTlbY-9buVC0oX0CoRuHEWqGinaOK2tyagSJ~TtzySTh8aOI2Y3oO0qJS1Ibs30qKXhJF9QgW1EDeY0nRMXqDe7PyjvLGhtMNWHcKtiIQLB8fRa4CDCVHuJkgAZ-V7BsvdwwUHBo7UTeNi~PVr383A-~iKsF5xeFUWn7EcNxyBqr5n~LZyApZdaWgGYbsxMpiOeqZMS9-y~Y-NpyAZfyie6k7lKi~iySq7Yu~pS~A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Osceola County Board of Supervisors approved a pay application presented for April 1 and debated how the county should track contract revisions and change orders for the project.

Board members said part of the current pay application covers work on a monument move that includes about $10,000 listed as a grave lien; the remainder of the payment is to Midwest Construction and an additional contractor referred to in the record as “Ray of Ming.” Staff said the bill submitted now is the first portion of that contractor’s invoice and that a further payment would be due May 1.

Supervisors expressed concern about how pay applications have been submitted. A board member said they had asked county staff member John for better communication and asked that future pay applications show updated contract values rather than carry unresolved items forward without documented change orders. That board member said they did not think continuing to process pay applications without explicit, itemized change orders is an appropriate way to manage the project.

A motion to approve the pay application was made (mover recorded as Law, support from Supervisor Vande Heu) and the board voted in favor.

The board did not adopt a separate policy or formal change-order procedure at the meeting; supervisors asked staff to improve communication and to present contract changes or individual change orders for future consideration.

The record shows the board approved the pay application and flagged the need for clearer documentation and handling of future contract adjustments.","The Osceola County Board of Supervisors approved an April 1 pay application for a county construction project and discussed concerns about how future change orders and contract revisions are being handled and communicated by staff and contractors.","actionData","errors"]
