The Mahaska County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting this morning and held a public hearing for their Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget. No members of the public spoke during the hearing, and the budget was passed by the board unanimously.

The board also authorized the publication of a notice of intent to fill the County Auditor vacancy by appointment. The vacancy was left by former County Auditor Teri Rogers, who recently resigned from the position. The board set the date to publish the notice of intent for April 26, so that the board can make a decision on their appointee by May 5, and host a special meeting on May 12 to swear them in.

The next regular meeting for the Mahaska County Board of Supervisors is scheduled for May 5.
