WHEREAS, a Preliminary Official Statement (the “P.O.S.”) has been
prepared to facilitate the sale of the Bonds (as hereinafter defined)
and the County has made provision for the approval of the P.O.S. and
has authorized its use by Piper Jaffray & Co. (the “Underwriter”); and
WHEREAS, a certain Bond Purchase Agreement (the “Bond Purchase
Agreement”) has been executed by the County and the Underwriter for the

“Bonds”), and the County has previously approved the Bond Purchase
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is now necessary to make final provision for the
approval of the Loan Agreement and to authorize the issuance of the
Bonds, and to authorize an escrow agreement to facilitate the refunding

NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Resolved by the Board of Supervisors of Lee
County, Iowa, as follows:
Section 1. The County hereby determines to enter into the Loan
Agreement with the Underwriter, in substantially the form attached

hereinafter referred to as the “Registrar” or the “Paying Agent.” The
County shall enter into an agreement (the “Registrar/Paying Agent
Agreement”) with the Registrar, in substantially the form as has been
placed on file with the Board of Supervisors; the Chairperson and
County Auditor are hereby authorized and directed to sign the
Registrar/Paying Agent Agreement on behalf of the County; and the
Registrar/Paying Agent Agreement is hereby approved.
The County reserves the right to redeem part or all of the Bonds
on or after June 1, 2021, upon terms of par and accrued interest. If
less than all of the Bonds of any like maturity are to be redeemed, the
particular part of those Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the
Registrar by lot. The Bonds may be called in one or more units of
$5,000. If less than the entire principal amount of any Bond in a
denomination of more than $5,000 is to be redeemed, the Registrar will
issue and deliver to the registered owner thereof, upon surrender of
such original Bond, a new Bond or Bonds, in any authorized
denomination, in a total aggregate principal amount equal to the
unredeemed balance of the original Bond. Notice of such redemption as
aforesaid identifying the Bond or Bonds (or portion thereof) to be
redeemed shall be sent by electronic means or mailed by certified mail
to the registered owners thereof at the addresses shown on the County’s
registration books not less than 30 days prior to such redemption date.
Any notice of redemption may contain a statement that the redemption is
conditioned upon the receipt by the Paying Agent of funds on or before
the date fixed for redemption sufficient to pay the redemption price of
the Bonds so called for redemption, and that if funds are not
available, such redemption shall be cancelled by written notice to the
owners of the Bonds called for redemption in the same manner as the
original redemption notice was provided, such notice of cancellation to
be made at least three days prior to the date fixed for redemption.
All of such Bonds as to which the County reserves and exercises
the right of redemption and as to which notice as aforesaid shall have
been given and for the redemption of which funds are duly provided,
shall cease to bear interest on the redemption date.
All of the interest on the Bonds shall be payable commencing
December 1, 2016, and semiannually thereafter on the first day of June
and December in each year. Payment of interest on the Bonds shall be
made to the registered owners appearing on the registration books of
the County at the close of business on the fifteenth day of the month
next preceding the interest payment date and shall be paid by check or
draft mailed to the registered owners at the addresses shown on such
5420
registration books. Principal of the Bonds shall be payable in lawful
money of the United States of America to the registered owners or their
legal representatives upon presentation and surrender of the Bond or
Bonds at the office of the Paying Agent. Interest on the Bonds will be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months.
The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the County with the
official manual or facsimile signature of the Chairperson of the Board
and attested with the official manual or facsimile signature of the
County Auditor, and shall be fully registered Bonds without interest
coupons. In case any officer whose signature or the facsimile of whose
signature appears on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before
the delivery of the Bonds, such signature or such facsimile signature
shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same
as if such officer had remained in office until delivery.
The Bonds shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose
until the Certificate of Authentication thereon shall have been signed
by the Registrar.
The Bonds shall be fully registered as to principal and interest
in the names of the owners on the registration books of the County kept
by the Registrar, and after such registration, payment of the principal
thereof and interest thereon shall be made only to the registered
owners or their legal representatives or assigns. Each Bond shall be
transferable without cost to the registered owner thereof only upon the
registration books of the County upon presentation to the Registrar,
together with either a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to
the Registrar or the assignment form thereon completed and duly
executed by the registered owner or the duly authorized attorney for
such registered owner.
The record and identity of the owners of the Bonds shall be kept
confidential as provided by Section 22.7 of the Code of Iowa.
Section 4. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, the
Bonds shall be issued initially as Depository Bonds, with one fully
registered Bond for each maturity date, in principal amounts equal to
the amount of principal maturing on each such date, and registered in
the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company,
New York, New York (“DTC”). On original issue, the Bonds shall be
deposited with DTC for the purpose of maintaining a book-entry system
for recording the ownership interests of its participants and the
transfer of those interests among its participants (the
“Participants”). In the event that DTC determines not to continue to
act as securities depository for the Bonds or the County determines not
to continue the book-entry system for recording ownership interests in
the Bonds with DTC, the County will discontinue the book-entry system
with DTC. If the County does not select another qualified securities
depository to replace DTC (or a successor depository) in order to
continue a book-entry system, the County will register and deliver
replacement Bonds in the form of fully registered certificates, in
authorized denominations of $5,000 or integral multiples of $5,000, in
accordance with instructions from Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. In
the event that the County identifies a qualified securities depository
to replace DTC, the County will register and deliver replacement Bonds,
fully registered in the name of such depository, or its nominee, in the
denominations as set forth above, as reduced from time to time prior to
maturity in connection with redemptions or retirements by call or
payment, and in such event, such depository will then maintain the
book-entry system for recording ownership interests in the Bonds.
Ownership interests in the Bonds may be purchased by or through
Participants. Such Participants and the persons for whom they acquire
interests in the Bonds as nominees will not receive certificated Bonds,
but each such Participant will receive a credit balance in the records
of DTC in the amount of such Participant’s interest in the Bonds, which
will be confirmed in accordance with DTC’s standard procedures. Each
such person for which a Participant has an interest in the Bonds, as
nominee, may desire to make arrangements with such Participant to have
all notices of redemption or other communications of the County to DTC,
which may affect such person, forwarded in writing by such Participant
and to have notification made of all interest payments.
5421
The County will have no responsibility or obligation to such
Participants or the persons for whom they act as nominees with respect
to payment to or providing of notice for such Participants or the
persons for whom they act as nominees.
As used herein, the term “Beneficial Owner” shall hereinafter be
deemed to include the person for whom the Participant acquires an
interest in the Bonds.
DTC will receive payments from the County, to be remitted by DTC
to the Participants for subsequent disbursement to the Beneficial
Owners. The ownership interest of each Beneficial Owner in the Bonds
will be recorded on the records of the Participants whose ownership
interest will be recorded on a computerized book-entry system kept by
DTC.
When reference is made to any action which is required or
permitted to be taken by the Beneficial Owners, such reference shall
only relate to those permitted to act (by statute, regulation or
otherwise) on behalf of such Beneficial Owners for such purposes. When
notices are given, they shall be sent by the County to DTC, and DTC
shall forward (or cause to be forwarded) the notices to the
Participants so that the Participants can forward the same to the
Beneficial Owners.
Beneficial Owners will receive written confirmations of their
purchases from the Participants acting on behalf of the Beneficial
Owners detailing the terms of the Bonds acquired. Transfers of
ownership interests in the Bonds will be accomplished by book entries
made by DTC and the Participants who act on behalf of the Beneficial
Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing
their ownership interest in the Bonds, except as specifically provided
herein. Interest and principal will be paid when due by the County to
DTC, then paid by DTC to the Participants and thereafter paid by the
Participants to the Beneficial Owners.

tax purposes pursuant to the appropriate provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations in
effect with respect thereto (all of the foregoing herein referred to as
the “Internal Revenue Code”). In furtherance thereof, the County
covenants to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code as
they may from time to time be in effect or amended and further
covenants to comply with the applicable future laws, regulations,
published rulings and court decisions as may be necessary to insure
that the interest on the Bonds will remain excluded from gross income
for federal income tax purposes. Any and all of the officers of the
County are hereby authorized and directed to take any and all actions

it unlawful for an underwriter to participate in the primary offering
of municipal securities in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or more
unless, before submitting a bid or entering into a purchase contract
for such securities, it has reasonably determined that the issuer or an
obligated person has undertaken in writing for the benefit of the
holders of such securities to provide certain disclosure information to
prescribed information repositories on a continuing basis so long as
such securities are outstanding.
On the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the County
will execute and deliver a Continuing Disclosure Certificate pursuant
to which the County will undertake to comply with the Rule. The
Chairperson and the County Auditor are hereby authorized and directed
to execute the Continuing Disclosure Certificate on behalf of the
County in substantially the form as has been presented to this Board of
Supervisors and to make such changes thereto as they, with advice from
Bond Counsel, deem necessary to facilitate compliance with the Rule.
The County covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out
the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. Any and all
of the officers of the County are hereby authorized and directed to
take any and all actions as may be necessary to comply with the Rule
and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.
Section 12. It is hereby determined that the County shall enter
into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with the Registrar,
as Escrow Agent, in such form as has been presented to the Board. The
Escrow Agreement is hereby approved and the Chairperson and County
Auditor are hereby authorized and directed to execute the Escrow
Agreement on behalf of the County.
A portion of Loan Proceeds shall be deposited and invested in
accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and, as set forth
therein, when timely, shall be used to refund the Prior Bonds. The
County shall keep a detailed and segregated accounting of the
expenditure of, and investment earnings on, the Loan Proceeds to ensure
compliance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as
hereinafter defined. The remainder of the Loan Proceeds shall be
applied to pay costs of issuance and other lawful purposes as set forth
in the County’s closing and tax certificate dated the date of delivery
of the Bonds.
The Registrar, as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Prior Bonds
is hereby authorized to take all action necessary to call the Series
2007 Bonds for redemption on June 1, 2017 (the “Series 2007 Redemption
Date”) and to call the Series 2008 Bonds for redemption on June 1, 2018
(the “Series 2008 Redemption Date” and, together with the Series 2007
Redemption Date, the “Redemption Dates”), and is further authorized and
directed to give notice of each redemption by sending notice to each of
the registered owners of the Prior Bonds to be redeemed at the
addresses shown on the County’s registration books, not less than 30
days prior to the respective Redemption Dates and in accordance with
the terms of the resolutions authorizing the issuance of the Prior
Bonds.

Section 13. The Chairman and the County Auditor are hereby
authorized and directed to sign any agreements, certificates or other
documents related to the issuance of the Series Bonds and required for
the delivery and closing of the same.
Section 14. The provisions of this resolution shall constitute a
contract between the County and the owners of the Bonds as may from
time to time be outstanding, and no change, variation or alteration of
any kind of the provisions of this resolution shall be made except as
provided in Section 15 and Section 16, until such time as all of the
Bonds and the interest due there shall have been satisfied and
discharged as provided in this resolution.
Section 15. For any one or more of the following purposes,
without the consent of or notice to the owners of the Bonds, and at any
time or from time to time this resolution may be amended, modified or
supplemented by the County:
(a) to cure any ambiguity or formal defect or omission in this
resolution;
(b) to grant to or confer for the benefit of the owners of the
Bonds any additional rights, remedies, powers or authority that may
lawfully be granted to or conferred upon the owners of the Bonds;
(c) to assign and pledge under this resolution additional
revenues, properties or collateral as permitted by law;
(d) to modify, amend or supplement this resolution in such
manner as to permit continued compliance with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code in order to maintain the tax exempt status of the
Bonds; and
(e) to make any other change that, in the judgment of the
County, does not materially adversely affect the rights of any of the
owners of the Bonds.
Section 16. In addition to amendments to this resolution
authorized by Section 15 hereof, this resolution may be amended from
time to time if such amendment shall have been consented to by the
holders of not less than two-thirds in principal amount of the Bonds at
any time outstanding, but this resolution may not be so amended without
the consent of the holders of 100% in principal amount of the Bonds at
the time outstanding in such manner as to:
(a) Make any change in the maturity or interest rate of the
Bonds, or modify the terms of payment of principal of or interest on
the Bonds or any of them or impose any conditions with respect to such
payments;
(b) Materially affect the rights of the holders of less than
all of the Bonds then outstanding; and
(c) Reduce the percentage of the principal amount of the Bonds
needed to approve amendments to this resolution.
Whenever the County shall propose to amend or modify this
resolution under the provisions of this section, it shall cause notice
of the proposed amendment to be mailed to each of the owners of the
Bonds at the addresses appearing on the registration books of the
County held by the Registrar. Such notice shall briefly set forth the
nature of the proposed amendment and shall state that a copy of the
proposed amendatory resolution is on file in the office of the Board of
Supervisors of the County.
If the owners of not less than two-thirds in aggregate principal
amount of the Series Bonds outstanding at the time of the adoption of
such amendatory resolution shall have consented to and approved the
5436
adoption thereof as herein provided, no owner of any Bonds shall have
any right or interest to object to the adoption of such amendatory
resolution or to object to any of the terms or provisions therein
contained or to the operation thereof or to enjoin or restrain the
County from taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof.
Any consent given by the owners of a Bond pursuant to the
provisions of this section shall be irrevocable for a period of six (6)
months from the date of such consent and shall be conclusive and
binding upon all future owners of the same Bond during such period.
Such consent may be revoked at any time after six (6) months from the
date of such consent by the owner who gave such consent or by a
successor in title, but such revocation shall not be effective if the
owners of not less than two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the
Bonds outstanding as in this section defined, shall have, prior to the
attempted revocation, consented to and approved the amendatory
resolution referred to in such revocation.
The fact and date of the execution of any instrument under the
provisions of this section may be proved by the certificate of any
officer in any jurisdiction who by the laws thereof is authorized to
take acknowledgments of deeds within such jurisdiction, that the
persons signing such instrument acknowledged before such officer the
execution thereof, or may be proved by an affidavit of a witness to
such execution sworn to before such officer.
Section 17. All resolutions or parts thereof in conflict herewith
are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict.

at 9:00 a.m. at the Correctional Center.
Present: Ron Fedler, Matt Pflug, Don Hunold, Gary Folluo and Rick
Larkin

Public Input-Rodger Whitaker, Keokuk, asked the Board to arrange
a meeting between Keokuk Area Hospital, Fort Madison Community
Hospital, Lee County Health Department and Lee County Ambulance Service
to see what kind of impact there would be to these entities if Keokuk
Area Hospital should shut down. Whitaker said then after this meeting
the Board should put the funding request from Keokuk Area Hospital on
the agenda. Ron Becker, Wever, asked if the Board was considering
implementing an ordinance to allow ATVs on County Gravel Roads. Fedler
said that the Board had not been approached with this. Tali Froman,
President of the Keokuk Area Hospital Auxiliary, is concerned about the
loss of lives if the hospital closes. She said the hospital has an
excellent ER Staff. Roger Payne, Keokuk, asked the Board what they are
going to do about future economic troubles that are sure to come if KAH
closes. Dan Winn, Keokuk City Council, said closing the hospital would
have a far reaching impact. Marla Shafer, Montrose, thought that KAH
would be turned around by now. She read a letter from a patient that
had received care at KAH. Dorothy Cackley, Keokuk, didn't see any
reaction to Whitaker's suggestion for a meeting. She asked the Board if
they are willing to meet with these entities. She also read a statement
from the Democratic Platform. Mary VanPelt, Montrose, supports KAH. She
asked officials from KAH what they did with the 5 million dollars the
State of Iowa loaned them. She also asked them why the County cannot
see their financial books. Joe Whiting, KAH, said they used the $5
million to retire liabilities, infrastructure improvements and they
were able to give the employees a raise. They have been making payments
to the State on a regular basis. They will be discussing a
restructuring of the loan with the State. Al Nelson, Keokuk, thanked
everyone for attending the meeting and for being concerned about the
hospital. Whiting said they have been having discussions with Great
River Medical Center in Burlington and the University of Iowa Hospital
in Iowa City. Cindy Iutzi, Daily Gate City, asked Fedler why he is
refusing to put the funding request on an agenda. Fedler said it was
voted on at the last Board meeting to not put it on the agenda. Iutzi
asked each Board Member why they voted in the manner they voted.
Hunold, who voted not to put it on an agenda, said he wants to see the
financial books. Pflug, who voted yes to put it on an agenda, said it
is a matter of lives. Larkin, who voted no, thought he was voting on
the funding. Folluo, who voted yes, said he is on the Lee County
Economic Development Board and he is looking at it as retention of
jobs. He also wants to listen to the citizens in his district. Fedler,
who voted no, said he wants to see KAH survive but they should look at
merging with another hospital. Whiting said there is a bill in Congress
called the Reach Act that would help KAH out. Whitaker said KAH has
doctors come from other hospitals. Folluo asked what the original
turnaround time was. Whiting thought it was 3 years but now they have
extended the contract with Fitch Healthcare Consulting to January of
2018. Marla Payne, Keokuk, said that the hospital has to appear
5440
appealing to another hospital. In order to get solvent KAH needs to
pursue every avenue of funding. Larkin asked if the hospital would
close if the County does not give them the matching funding. Whiting
said that it would not and he does not want to send that message to the
employees. Pflug said how do you put a cost on lives and asked why
Illinois and Missouri were not contributing when so many of their
residents use the hospital. Our job is to provide good service. I would
not let Fort Madison lose their hospital. I think territories are
playing into this. Fedler said that Green Bay Drainage District came to
the Board asking for money and they are in his district. After
researching, he determined that it was not in the interest of the whole
County to give them funds. Pflug said if you have level headed people
at the table, this funding should be happening. Larkin asked if the
hospital was optimistic about the Reach Act Bill passing. Whiting said
he cannot get an answer from anyone on when they will be voting on it.
Larkin asked if they have a plan if the bill does not pass. Whiting
said that if this bill does not pass, Congressman Loebsack has proposed
another bill. Larkin asked Whitaker about the meeting he proposed.
Whitaker said these entities would be affected and the financial
problems that KAH are facing right now would move north. Pflug said it
could affect FMCH. Whiting said FMCH would soon fail. Pflug said he
thought the meeting between the Health Care entities is a good idea.
Larkin agreed. Linda Atterberg, KAH employee, said people would move
out of Lee County. VanPelt asked Whiting if the hospital is willing to
open their financial books. Whiting said he would have to check with
the hospital board. VanPelt then asked Fedler if this matter could be
put back on a future agenda. Fedler said he would have to hear new
information. Hunold said the meeting with the entities is a good idea
but people are going to have to accept the outcome. Pflug asked Cackley
and Froman if they would organize the meeting.
Arin Jones, Quad-County Community Partnerships for Protecting
Children Coordinator, read the following Proclamation:
CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, child abuse and neglect persists as one of the most serious
public health problems and is a community condition and problem; and
WHEREAS, every Lee County child is entitled to be cared for, secure,
and protected from verbal, sexual, emotional and physical abuse, and
neglect; and
WHEREAS, social acceptance of myths about child abuse silences victims
and encourages public denial about the true nature of this tragic
epidemic; and
WHEREAS, the majority of child abuse cases stem from situations and
conditions that are preventable in an engaged and supportive community;
and
WHEREAS, child maltreatment occurs when people find themselves in
stressful situations, without community resources, and without healthy
coping skills; and
WHEREAS, the effects of child abuse and neglect are felt by whole
communities and finding solutions depends on involvement among people
in the community; and
WHEREAS, for real change to happen, child abuse prevention needs to be
addressed by the entire community; and
WHEREAS, all citizens should be educated that child abuse prevention is
possible and become involved in supporting parents to raise their
children in a safe, nurturing environment; and
WHEREAS, effective child abuse prevention programs succeed because of
partnerships created among families, social service agencies, schools,
5441
government, faith communities, civic organizations, law enforcement,
and the business community; and
WHEREAS, everyone in the community benefits from less child
maltreatment which leads to happier, healthier, more productive
communities.
NOW, THEREFORE, I Ron Fedler, representing the Lee County Board of
Supervisors, do hereby proclaim April 2016 as Child Abuse Prevention
Month in Lee County, Iowa and call to the attention of our citizens,
community agencies, religious organizations, medical facilities,
schools, and businesses the issue of child abuse and its prevention. We
urge all to dedicate their energies to cherishing and protecting Lee
County children, thereby strengthening the communities in which we
live.

Resolution #2016-78
A resolution of the Board of Supervisors approving Business Property
Tax Credits for taxes payable in 2016-2017.
WHEREAS, the Code of Iowa, Chapter 426C provides for a business
property tax credit for all qualifying parcel units classified as
commercial, industrial or railroad property; and
WHEREAS, the Lee County Assessor's Office recommends that all
applications filed in their office be allowed to receive said credit
for taxes payable in 2016-2017 EXCEPT those parcels that did not
qualify to receive said credit as of March 15, 2016;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Lee County Board of
Supervisors that all filed applications for the Business Property Tax
Credit received on or before March 15, 2016 be allowed except for those
parcels which are recommended for disallowance per Code of Iowa Chapter
426C.4(1) and 426C.4(1)(b).
LEE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. /s/ Ron Fedler, Chairman; /s/ Matt Pflug,
Vice-Chair; /s/ Don Hunold, Member; and /s/ Gary Folluo, Member. Attest: /s/
Denise Fraise, Lee County Auditor. Motion carried.
The second reading of an ATV Ordinance was the next item on the agenda.
The Board allowed comments from the Public. Al Nelson, Keokuk, hopes the
ordinance is enforced. Jim Lemberger, Wever, is opposed to the ordinance. He
said that the riders are not protected, the ATVs do not have license plates
and there is not enough personnel available to enforce the ordinance.
Lemberger also said that they are very noisy. Harry Sylvester, Fort Madison,
said that ATVs are not manufactured for roads. Nancy Booten, Lee County
Recorder, said she has seen people riding ATVs three abreast and how can you
5459
identify who is riding if there are no license plates. She also asked where
the money is going to come from if the roads get damaged. Dr. Charles
Jennisen, with the University of Iowa Hospital, does research on ATV
accidents. He said 60 percent of ATV deaths occur on roadways and 49 percent
of these deaths are on gravel roads. Two thirds of deaths do not involve
another vehicle. Riders are more likely to get head injuries on roads. ATVs
are not designed for roadway use. The tires have special tread. They also
have a high center of gravity and roll over easily. The County may be
assuming liability if they pass this ordinance. An ATV Park may be the
solution. If the County passes the ordinance, he would like to see helmets
required. He would also like to see that seatbelts be made mandatory in those
vehicles that have seat belts.
Moved by Folluo, seconded by Pflug, to table the second reading of the
ATV Ordinance until further questions are answered. Roll call: Folluo-aye,
Pflug-aye, Hunold-aye and Fedler-aye. Motion carried.
Moved by Pflug, seconded by Hunold, to approve a Fund Transfer of Eight
Hundred Thirty Eight Thousand Three Hundred Seven Dollars from Rural Basic to
the Secondary Roads Fund. Motion carried.
Moved by Folluo, seconded by Hunold, to approve a Fireworks Display
Permit for Brotherton/Glasscock Families, for a display on July 4, 2016.
Motion carried.
Moved by Pflug, seconded by Folluo, to approve Resolution #2016-79.
Roll call: Pflug-aye, Folluo-aye, Hunold-aye and Fedler-aye.
Resolution #2016-79
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Lee County has by Ordinance
Number VI-11 adopted a plan for a County-wide Urban Revitalization Tax
Exemption District in Lee County, Iowa; and,
WHEREAS, Iowa Code Section 404.4 provides for prior approval of
eligibility for a tax exemption by the governing body of the County;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF LEE
COUNTY, IOWA, that they hereby approve the application of: James and
Carole West 3334 Argyle Road Argyle IA 52619
For exemption from taxation according to the provisions of Iowa
Code Section 404.3, §3. Said applications shall be forwarded to the

The second reading of an Ordinance allowing ATVs to be operated
on County Roads was next on the agenda. Fedler opened it up for public
comments. Jim Lemberger, Wever, pointed out to the Board that
manufacturers of ATVs say they are for off road use only. Ron Becker,
Wever, said there is a better chance of getting hurt on a motorcycle.
Randy Augustine, Wever, has problems with ATV riders on his property.
When he calls the Sheriff, the riders retaliate against him. Gary
Woolverton, Donnellson, said danger exists in life no matter what you
do. Randy Weisinger, Fort Madison, said other states are open to ATVs
and it brings tourism in. Lemberger said data needs to be collected to
make an informed decision. He thinks that the County should not open
itself up for problems. Al Nelson, Keokuk, said the County should look
into establishing an ATV Park. Mary VanPelt, disagreed with Nelson's
statement. She said the liability of an ATV Park would be too high.
Pflug asked Conservation Director Tom Buckley if he had problems with
ATVs in the County Parks. Buckley said they write 12-15 tickets a year.
The main problem is the damage they do to the terrain. He is not
opposed to recreation. Tim Painter, Wever, said that a high percentage
of the people that signed the petition are law abiding responsible
citizens. Steve Reuther, Fort Madison, is in favor of the ordinance.
Augustine said that people from out of state would be coming over to
Lee County to ride if the ordinance is passed. Fedler closed the public
comment portion. It was moved by Hunold, seconded by Pflug, to approve
the Second Reading of the ordinance allowing ATVs to be operated on
County Roads. Roll call: Hunold-aye, Pflug-nay, Folluo-nay, Larkin-nay
and Fedler-aye. Motion failed.

Resolution for Appropriations FY2017
Whereas, it is desired to make a separate appropriation for each of the
different offices and departments for the Fiscal Year beginning July 1,
2016 in accordance with Section 331.434, Subsection 6, Code of Iowa.
The board shall appropriate, by resolution, the amounts deemed
necessary for each of the different county offices and departments
during the ensuing fiscal year. Increases or decreases in these
appropriations do not require a budget amendment, but may be
provided by resolution at a regular meeting of the board, as long
as each class of proposed expenditures contained in the budget
summary published under subsection 3 of this section is not
increased. However, decreases in appropriations for a county
officer or department of more than ten percent or five thousand
dollars, whichever is greater, shall not be effective unless the
board sets a time and place for a public hearing on the proposed
decrease and publishes notice of the hearing not less than ten nor
more than twenty days prior to the hearing in the county newspapers
selected under chapter 349.
Now, Therefore, be it Resolved, by the Board of Supervisors of Lee
County, Iowa, as follows:
Section 1. The amounts by department or office on the attached
schedule are hereby appropriated to the department or office listed in
the first column on the attached schedule for a period beginning July
1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.
Section 2. Subject to the provisions of other county procedures and
regulations, and applicable state law, the appropriations authorized
under Section 1 shall constitute authorization for the department or
officer listed to make expenditures or incur obligations effective July
1, 2016.
Section 3. No department or officer shall expend or contract to expend
any money or incur any liability, or enter into any contract, which by
its terms involves the expenditure of money for any purpose in excess
of the amounts appropriated pursuant to this resolution in with Section
331.437, Code of Iowa:
It is unlawful for a county official, the expenditures of whose
office come under this part, to authorize the expenditure of a sum
for the official's department larger than the amount which has been
appropriated for that department by the board.
5473
A county official in charge of a department or office who violates
this law is guilty of a simple misdemeanor. The penalty in this
section is in addition to the liability imposed in section 331.476.
Section 4. If at any time during the Budget Year 2016-2017, the
Auditor shall ascertain that the available resources of a department
for that year will be less than said department’s total appropriation,
he/she shall immediately so inform the board and recommend appropriate
corrective action.
Section 5. The Auditor shall establish separate accounts for the
appropriations authorized in Section 1, each of which account shall
indicate the amount of the appropriation, the amounts charged thereto,
and the unencumbered balance. The Auditor shall report the status of
such accounts to the applicable departments and officers monthly during
the Budget Year 2016-2017.
Section 6. All appropriations authorized pursuant to this resolution
lapse at the close of business June 30, 2017.

debt.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that a public hearing be set for
the Lee County Conservation Building, 2652 Hwy 61, Montrose, Iowa on

of raising the minimum wage in Lee County. Input from the public was
allowed. Jennifer Hauff, Keokuk, related her struggles with minimum
wage jobs. Tracy VanHyning, Fort Madison, talked about the poverty she
sees as a letter carrier. She said the raise in the wage would be in
increments and should have little impact on businesses. Mike Bennett,
Donnellson, said the current minimum wage does not lift people up out
of poverty. If the Board approves the study group, it should be a cross
section of residents in Lee County. Robert Cale, Fort Madison, said 29
states have a higher minimum wage than Iowa. It has been 9 years since
the last increase. Tom Marion, Keokuk, said the City of Keokuk will
support a raise in the minimum wage. Kathy Gabel, Keokuk, wants to be
part of the study group. Becky Heagy, Fort Madison, said if she
received more money it would go right back into the community. She
worked in retail and has noticed shoplifting is on the rise as well as
more EBT card use. Tom Cale, Fort Madison, said 80 percent of Iowans
support a raise in the minimum wage. Todd Marshall, Keokuk, said some
people have to choose between medicine or food. Chairman of the Board
Fedler agreed to put a resolution on the September 13th agenda and

Public Input-Steve Wilson gave the Board a handout regarding
proper public relations on pipeline operations. He asked to meet with
Ryan Drenner, the County's pipeline inspector, to ask questions about
the pipeline installment in Lee County. Brenda Knox is concerned about
the security at the pipeline installation site and is also concerned
about wastewater that is being dumped at the site. Josh Smith asked the
Supervisors if they were aware that the Lee County Sheriff's Office is
arresting members of the press. Mandy Land is concerned about the
behavior of some of the Sheriff's Deputies and said they are at the
site when nothing is happening. Nathan Land is also concerned about
some safety issues at the pipeline site stating that the security firm
hired by Precision Pipeline is overstepping its authority. Kevin
Gilbert supported Land's claims stating that the security company is
blocking the roadway with cars and taking pictures of the protesters.
He suggested that the hours the Sheriff's Office spends at the site
should be documented by an independent person. Esther Tweedy has
noticed a different attitude towards the protesters coming from the
Sheriff's Office and the security company. She is a taxpayer of Lee
County and does not think that the Sheriff's Office should be spending
so much time at the site. Kathleen Phipps-Winfrey asked the Board if
they would consider having an evening board meeting. Frank Cordero
asked how the Sheriff's Office can get reimbursed for the overtime.
J.C. Hofeditz stated that if the County were to bill Precision Pipeline
for overtime hours for the Sheriff's Deputies that would be like
moonlighting. Mary VanPelt asked who was paying the security company.
She also said that the World Record tulip planting at the Conservation
Center was fabulous. VanPelt then refuted a letter to the editor
stating that the Courthouse Bond Referendum would cost more than what
was stated by the County. She also said that the rudeness, disrespect,
harassment and bullying needs to stop between the two factions of the
bond referendum. Harry Sylvester mentioned that every school in Lee
County participated in the tulip planting. Larkin said there are a lot
of issues that divide the County but the students planting the tulips
showed him that people can work together.
Moved by Pflug, seconded by Larkin, to approve a Class E Liquor
License with a Class B Native Wine and Sunday Sales for Garner One
Stop, Montrose, for the period December 1, 2016 through November 30,

reported on the Mooar/Powdertown sanitary sewer system issue. Fedler

and also participated in the tulip planting. Folluo attended the tulip
planting event. Fedler then read a letter from Keokuk resident David
Barrett stating he is interested in purchasing the South Lee County
Courthouse if the bond referendum is passed.
At 10:30 a.m., a motion was made by Pflug, seconded by Folluo, to
adjourn. Motion carried. The next meeting of the Board of Supervisors

i.e., preventing its failure or decline. Generally speaking
reconfiguration of space or installation of substantially new equipment

WHEREAS, presently there is in excess of $700,000 in this local
