The Greene County Board of Supervisors met Monday in regular session.

The Board recognized County Recorder Marcia Tasler for 40-years of service to the County. She has served as County Recorder since 1987, but has been working for the county before then.

The Board heard a Teledoc update from Terry Lang and MacDonald Insurance. He said after the first two months of the program, the County had saved $4,600 toward their health insurance. There are between 70 to 75 county employees eligible for the program and about 40-percent are using it. There are 34 registered users (including dependents, not just primary holders). The Board agreed to have a quarterly update on the program going forward.

The Board then approved the County Treasurer’s investment report of $5,200,572 for February and issuing 231 driver’s licenses last month. The meeting ended with a brief update from County Engineer Wade Weiss. He said the Jefferson Airport Commission is looking to begin a project to relocate the county road in order to extend the current runway. Weiss noted that since federal funds are now available, he suggested the County provide matching funds instead of contributing in-kind services. The Board agreed in 2011 to pay $20,000 per year for five-years for a total of $100,000 for the project. However, that money has been on stand-by since the project never began. The Board agreed to provide funds.

During open forum, county resident Denny Lautner addressed the Board on the Greene County School District bond referendum. He thought that on the bond it should be noted where the proposed new high school and career academy is to be built. He also re-stated that he thought there should be two separate votes: one just for the high school and one just for the career academy. The Board took no action following Lautner’s comments.

County Environmental Administrator Chuck Wenthold told the Board that the Beaver Creek Watershed Management Authority received a $100,000 planning grant from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to plan for projects in the watershed. The Board previously agreed to contribute $1,900 as matching funds toward the grant.
