Much of the discussion during the board meeting focused on the sheriff’s salary and the impact from a new state law that was approved by the Iowa Legislature and signed by Gov. Kim Reynolds.
The initial proposals, one that would cover workers in the Louisa County Sheriff’s Department and another for the Louisa County Roads Department, were presented to the supervisors during their meeting on Monday by union representative Amber Moats.

WAPELLO A formal resolution cutting the Louisa County Compensation Board’s Fiscal Year 2022 salary recommendations for the eight county elected positions by 64% was approved Tuesday by the board of supervisors during its regular weekly meeting.
The supervisors had earlier settled on the cut as part of the development of next year’s county budget, but the latest decision formally reduced the compensation’s board recommended 7% salary increase for auditor Sandi Elliott, treasurer Vicki Frank, recorder Tammy Hayes, attorney Adam Parsons to about 2.5%.
That is approximately the same increase the supervisors agreed to include on most county departmental budgets for next year.
