After some brief discussion, the Supervisors tabled action until March 14th, on updating the County’s Investment Policy. Baier said the Board has been working on the policy for at least a couple of months. Supervisor Bernard Pettinger said he and Supervisor Wendy Richter have been discussing how to better explain what the policy entails.

An attorney will review a draft of the proposal to make sure the language in clear, concise, and compliant with the Code of Iowa.
