The Dallas County Board of Supervisors met in regular session Tuesday.
At the meeting, resident Larry Taylor addressed the Board in regards to drainage district 58. He stated that while the district once existed, he has now heard that it was petitioned out. Treasurer Mitch Hambleton confirmed the District does not currently exist. Taylor said he was interested in reestablishing the district, which would require at least two property owners signing a petition and filing it with the Auditor’s office. Taylor will be looking into the process to see if the District can be reestablished.
Next the Board approved several payroll change notices. A request for a scenic development letter of support was not addressed as the representative requesting the letter was not present at the meeting.
A public hearing in regards to a Cott Systems software contract was then set for January 26th at 9:30am. The Board then approved the cancellation of prior year’s outstanding checks for a total of $13,908.
A public hearing in regards to the final plat for the Carlile Estates plat 2 was then held. This subdivision is located east of Adel and the replat divides one of the lots into three lots. The plat was approved as presented.
The second public hearing of the day was in regards to a Pitney Bowes postage meter lease agreement. The five year agreement comes at a cost of $153 per month for two of the three meters and $236 monthly for the third. The Board approved the agreement as presented.
A Hallett Materials bond release request was then discussed but no formal action was taken.
The Board then reviewed an update on the human services campus from architect Jerry Purdy with Design Alliance and Information Technology Director Todd Noah. While there are a few punch list items that need to be addressed, the departments have moved into the campus and are operating in the new offices.
