CHARLES CITY — The Floyd County Board of Supervisors approved a county budget amendment, set a public hearing on conservation-area rules and noted a conservation department resignation during its regular meeting on May 12, 2026.
Supervisors Gloria Carr, Boyd Campbell and Frank Rottinghaus were present for the meeting, held at 9 a.m. in the Floyd County Courthouse Board Room.
The board approved the agenda, the May 5 meeting minutes and a set of county and engineer claims. Claims approved included County claims #2419 through #2479 and Engineer claims #10655 through #10683.
Supervisors also heard updates on county boards, commissions and activities. Carr reported attending a department head meeting, a North Iowa Council of Governments meeting and a GHD website pitch. Campbell and Carr attended the open house at the Fossil and Prairie Center, while Rottinghaus observed repairs being done on Drainage District 9.
Tyron Steere, Floyd County Conservation Director, provided an update on the conservation department.
Following that update, the board voted 3-0 to set a public hearing on Floyd County Ordinance 2026-02 for 9:15 a.m. on June 2, 2026, in the courthouse board room. The proposed ordinance would establish rules and regulations for areas under the control of the Floyd County Conservation Board.
The board also noted the resignation of Conservation Ranger/Natural Resource Manager Spencer Dejoode, effective May 29, 2026.
At 9:30 a.m., Carr opened a public hearing on the county’s fiscal year 2026 budget amendment. No public comments were made, and the hearing closed at 9:31 a.m.
Supervisors then voted 3-0 to approve Resolution #13-26, adopting a second amendment to the FY26 county budget. The amendment changes several revenue and spending lines across county departments, with a net revenue increase of $99,039 and a net expenditure increase of $166,206.
According to the county summary, the changes reflect decreased employee expenses and increased local construction activity tied to the timing of the construction season, partially offset by higher fee revenue.
Future agenda items listed by the board included Drainage District #3 spraying, the Tree Maintenance Program, the AMR contract and quarterly fees.
The meeting adjourned at 9:35 a.m.
