Supervisors Talk Landfill Commission Membership
by Charlie Comfort
Oskaloosa, Iowa – It was business as usual for the Mahaska County Supervisors, as the Supervisors met in regular session on December 7th.
The meeting was held in person, except for Supervisor Chuck Webb, who indicated that he would not be present at the meeting and attend virtually due to a positive test for COVID-19.
The item of true contention for the Supervisors was the discussion and possible action pertaining to the appointment of members of the Mahaska County Solid Waste Commission.
At the last Supervisors meeting, Supervisor Chairman Mark Groenendyk said that the landfill commission was currently working on revising their existing 28E agreement. At that time, Groenendyk explained that changes to a 28E agreement could result in changes to how many members the County appoints to represent the unincorporated rural sections of Mahaska County.
