MASON CITY — The Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors approved county claims, payroll and a new public meeting notice posting policy during its regular meeting on July 6, 2026.
Supervisors Casey Callanan, Carl Ginapp and Chris Watts were present for the meeting, which opened at 10:00 AM and adjourned at 10:12 AM.
The board approved the agenda, minutes from the June 29 regular session and June 30 special session, county claims, the payroll register for the period ending June 27, 2026, the Auditor’s Quarterly Report of Fees and the Sheriff’s Monthly Report of Fees.
A key item on the agenda was Resolution 2026-48, tied to House File 2490 and changes to Iowa’s open records and open meetings laws. The resolution lays out where Cerro Gordo County will post public meeting agendas, including the bulletin board outside the Board of Supervisors office on the first floor of the courthouse, the east-side main courthouse entrance/exit doors and the county website at cerrogordo.gov. If an agenda is amended at least 24 hours before a meeting, the county says it will mark the document “Amended” and identify the changed provisions.
Supervisors also appointed Mark Mathre to the County Board of Adjustment.
County Engineer Brandon Billings provided an update, and supervisors approved reports from the Environmental Health Service Manager concerning manure management plan updates for the Mike Kuhlemeier West Site, site #65997, and Neal Hog Farms LLC, site #69472, to be forwarded to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
County claims approved at the meeting totaled $1,405,010.09.
