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

During open forum, Jefferson Mayor Matt Gordon and County Engineer Wade Weiss each gave an update. Gordon said the police department is interviewing potential candidates and progress is being made on the union discussions about wage increases for officers. Weiss talked about a delay to replace the coils in the six damaged bells on the Mahanay Memorial Carillon Tower to next month.

The Board then approved a reimbursement request from the Iowa COVID-19 Government Relief Fund through the Iowa Public Health Emergency Fund for about $80,000 for salaries with the sheriff’s office and ambulance department for August and September. The Board also approved a contract for the Iowa County Attorney’s Case Management software for data to be stored on the company’s cloud, and a letter of agreement with SpyGlass to authorize the company to gain access to the county phone and cellular carriers. Information Technology Administrator Michelle Fields told the Board SpyGlass will look for any overpaid fees and ongoing expenses to be reduced.

Next, the Board approved the county sheriff’s quarterly report of fees of $57,706 for July through September, the county auditor’s quarterly passport report of issuing 23 passports for July through September, and the county treasurer’s quarterly investment report of nearly $25 million for July through September, and issuing 289 driver’s licenses in September. The drainage district 187 items, including a pay estimate, change order and completion hearing were cancelled during the meeting.
