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

During open forum, Scranton resident and business owner Alex Calderone addressed the Board about issues on his commercial property in Scranton, at 808 Locust Avenue. He said customers for Casey’s General Store have been using his easement and driveway for additional parking. He said he put nails and plaster on his easement to keep vehicles from parking on it. He pointed out the Dawn Rudolph and “her crones” pushed the materials back from the easement, and the next day a truck rammed through his property. He talked about a couple other issues he alleged Rudolph did to cause issues for his business.  

Supervisor Chair John Muir said the allegations were a city matter. However, a claim was made against a county secondary roads employee, which Muir said they can take action if there was evidence. County Attorney Thomas Laehn noted that there could be civil and criminal charges, but no grievances were made that the Supervisors could remedy. Muir responded that they will have conversations about what was brought up.

The Board then heard 2022 fiscal year funding requests from ACCESS Assault Care Center of $5,000, Elderserve and Congregate Meals of $12,000, Heart of Iowa Habitat for Humanity of $5,000, Jefferson Matters: A Main Street and Chamber Community of $4,500, and Elderbridge Agency on Aging of $7,638. The Board took no action on any of the requests. The Board did approve the annual cost allocation plan with Cost Advisory Services as presented and appropriated the final 15-percent to county departments and officials for the current fiscal year. 

Finally, following a closed session to discuss an opioid lawsuit to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the lawsuit, the Board took no action after the closed session.
