(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors, today (Wednesday) received funding requests from the Veterans Affairs Commission, County Recorder and Engineer. Each of the requests were taken under consideration for action during the budgeting process. Veteran’s Affairs Commissioner John Schildberg, III, asked the Board to approve an additional part-time employee to fill-in for an employee who is off-work, recovering from knee surgery. Wendy Lane has been filling-in, answering the phone, taking notes and making appointments, but none of the federal paperwork.

The Board approved the request. Lane will be paid $14 per hour, as Schildberg had requested. He said also, his budget request for the VA Commission is less than what it had been.

The Board then held a Public Hearing on an amendment to the FY 24 Adair County Budget. Having heard any spoken, nor received any written comments, the Supervisors closed the hearing and passed a Resolution approving the amendment, followed by passage of an Appropriations Resolution. Following the hearing, the Adair County Supervisors received an FY 25 funding request from County Recorder Janelle Schneider. Later on in their meeting, they passed a Right-of-way & temporary Easement Purchase Resolution, and received a FY 25 Budget request from County Engineer Nick Kauffman. Kaufman said with regard to the Easement Purchase Resolution, the rate the County pays has gone down.

He also discussed some issues they had this past weekend with three trucks breaking-down, and an additional truck mechanical issue popped-up Tuesday, but most of those issues have been repaired.
