The Mahaska County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting yesterday morning and discussed a rental agreement for the Mahaska County Law Enforcement Center for the city of Oskaloosa. Both the city and the county discussed replacing their 28E agreement for the law enforcement center with a rental agreement at a recent meeting in June, verbally agreeing to a rent amount of $50,000 per year for the city. The current 28E agreement requires the city to pay $35,000 a year plus a share in operating and maintenance costs. No official action was taken this morning, but the board unanimously agreed that they were in favor of the language in the proposed rental agreement, and pending city approval, they may vote on it at their next regular meeting, which is scheduled for July 21.
