Updates regarding various boards, commissions, and activities since the last meeting: Campbell attended
the NIACOG meetings. Rottinghaus is working on Ambulance Commission items. Carr met with department heads
regarding updates to the handbook, participated in the Charles City Chamber Leadership Group panel, led a
courthouse tour, and visited the Summit Pork site. All three supervisors participated in the Sheriff’s Deputy contract
discussion.
Tyler Trout, Charles City Administrator, presented a proposal for a countywide ambulance service
feasibility study. The study is estimated to take approximately six months, and the city has requested that the county
contribute half of the total cost—about $20,000. Trout also noted that the current contract with AMR expires on
June 30, 2026, and he has begun developing a new contract. The Board requested information on the company used
by Chickasaw County to determine whether an additional proposal could be obtained from a different provider. No
action was taken.
Carr opened the public hearing at 9:35 a.m. regarding the Summit Pork I LLP construction permit
application in Section 30, Scott Township. Mitch Baum, Summit Business Development Manager, explained that
this is a non‑construction permit application. Scott Jacobsen, Summit Environmental Manager, stated that bollards
around the well will be installed as soon as possible. Cindy Davidson, daughter of Sara Noss, addressed the letter
submitted to the Board and reiterated concerns about potential well contamination and increased traffic. Carr closed
the public hearing at 9:45 a.m.
Rottinghaus/Campbell moved to approve the application and provide a recommendation to the Iowa DNR,
with the condition that the applicant address the missing bollards around the well. The applicant will place cement
blocks within two weeks and install the bollards in the spring when the ground thaws. Motion carried 3–0.
Carr read the Bird Friendly County Proclamation. Campbell/Rottinghaus moved to approve the Bird
Friendly County Proclamation. Motion carried 3-0.
Rottinghaus/Campbell moved to approve the purchase of radio equipment to be paid with bond proceeds,
including a pager and charger ($683.55), a desktop charger for a portable radio ($145.68), and a wireless
speaker/microphone for a portable radio ($497.13), for a total cost of $1,326.36. Motion carried 3–0.
Brandi Schmidt, County Assessor, provided an update on ongoing issues with Solutions, including poor
communication, accessing servers without notice, and failing to complete programming in time to meet statutory
deadlines. The Board discussed ISAC’s preferred vendors—Tyler Technologies and ReGov. Carr suggested that
departments compile a “laundry list” of issues for the Board, and the Board will draft a letter to Solutions outlining
these concerns and indicating that the county may need to seek a different provider. Campbell recommended
reviewing other companies as part of the process. Schmidt will reach out to Tyler Technologies and ReGov. The
Board will begin composing a letter to Solutions.
The Board recessed from 11:00 a.m. to 11:05 a.m.
Adam Miller, County engineer, provided an update. Secondary road crews completed brushing and blading
during the recent good weather, though more snow arrived over the weekend. On 130th Street, bridge removal
continues, with the timber bridge gone and the truss bridge coming down; a fiber line was hit during work, and the
county is coordinating repairs. In the office, staff are developing plans for the B45 and Raise Grant bridges, with the
Grant contract expected soon and the first Floyd County letting set for July. Additional in-house structural
development also continues.
Rottinghaus/Campbell moved to reappoint Dr. David Schrodt as Medical Examiner for a two‑year term.
Motion carried 3–0.
Rottinghaus/Campbell moved to approve Res #04-26 Moratorium on Battery Energy Storage System
(BESS): The Board extends the moratorium on accepting or approving applications or issuing permits for Battery
Energy Storage System installations until August 4, 2026. This action ensures the county has adequate time to
review and update regulatory provisions related to battery energy storage prior to considering new applications. Roll
call vote – Ayes: Campbell, Carr, and Rottinghaus. Motion Carried 3-0.
Rottinghaus proposed that the county celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
The Board discussed forming a committee and potentially involving other community entities.
The Board noted the resignation of Sheriff’s Deputy Doyle Schmit effective January 14, 2026.
Future agenda items: Moratorium, Letter from Iowa Department of Veterans’ Affairs,
The Board conducted FY27 budget reviews for Courthouse and General Services.
Rottinghaus left the meeting at 1:00 p.m.
Campbell/Carr moved to adjourn. Motion carried 2-0.
