The sun lit the morning sky, guiding all to the start of another day, and some to this week’s Tama County Supervisors meeting. The dispute between the supervisors and the Secondary Roads Union saw two updates this week. The first was the supervisors taking limited action ratifying negotiated contract terms regarding pay.

Supervisor Curt Kupka spoke on this.

“The thing that we’re ratifying on this is the ratifying of wages that the wage classification that changed. That’s what we’re putting into effect,” he said.

Secondly, the supervisors received a letter from Gribble Law Firm, who filed a prohibited practice complaint against Tama County with the State of Iowa Employment Appeal Board.

The roads report stated that they hauled rock and bladed and will be putting on the winter fronts in preparation. The supervisors acknowledged Tama County’s initial proposal to the Teamsters regarding the E911 collective bargaining agreement.

A credit card for the Recorder’s Office was approved. Claims totaling $282,647.96 were approved.
