The supervisors reduced the

recommendation to 2.82 per-

cent (which was last year’s cost

of living increase).

“Do I understand this? If

the supervisors cut our rec-

ommendation, it has to be the

same percentage for every-

one?” asked Sadler.

“Yes,” replied Steenbock. She

reported this year’s cost of liv-

ing increase is 1.6 percent.

Bennett said the supervisors

thought last year’s proposed

increase of 6 percent was ex-

cessive. “I had one of the su-

pervisors tell me our bene�its’

package is quite attractive,

compared to other counties,

and brings them up to that 92nd

ranking.”

Remer commented that the

compensation board’s goal is

to establish the top salary the

supervisors can consider and

that the goal should be to get

everyone to 92nd.

Sadler commented that the

supervisors also do a good job

and should get a cost-of-living

increase.

“I’m concerned that we are

only doing cost-of-living in-

creases for our employees. I

checked attorney salaries for

counties above and below us

on the state ranking and the

Davis County attorney received

a 3 percent salary increase, Lu-

cas County 10.14 percent and

Montgomery 3 percent,” said

Boyle.

Boyle made the motion for

6 percent increases for the au-

ditor, attorney, recorder, trea-

surer and sheriff and 3 percent

increases for the supervisors.

Frahm seconded the motion

and the vote was all ayes.

Bennett, Boyle, Gray, Remer

and Sadler were present.

Frahm participated via tele-

phone.

Harvey Johnson, Bill Jackes

and Wyman Leinbaugh were

the �irst to buy lots and start

building homes for their fam-

ilies. Since building supplies

were in short supply after the

war, it took several years to

complete their homes. As the

population of Harrison Street

grew with baby boomers, it

was soon referred to as GI

Street.

The vets of GI Street by

house number were:

Dedication addressDuring the dedication of the

sign on Dec. 7, Burdette Con-

over of the Holstein American

Legion made the following re-

marks:

“It is special that we put up

the honorary GI Street sign on

the anniversary of Pearl Har-

bor. A time we remember that

approximately 200 men and

women from the Holstein area

answered their country’s call

to military service.

“Wheatly’s offer to returning

World War II vets to receive

a lot, for one dollar, to build

a house in Holstein, is one of

the many examples of how a

grateful community said thank

you for your service with more

than words.

“Only a small percentage of

the GIs were fortunate enough

to take advantage of the lots.

The signage is a reminder of

all the men and women who

have answered their country’s

call through the years and a

town that always said thank

you.

“When we see 30 to 50 vol-

unteers come to put up and

take down the Avenue of Flags

in support of our Veterans Day

events, it is apparent that Hol-

stein still says thank you with

more than words.”

The Ida County Board of Supervisors met

Dec. 10 to hear from members of the public.

Lisa Hinrichsen requested access through

the county’s Battle Creek shed parking lot to a

home recently relocated to private land behind

the county shed. The supervisors and county

engineer Jeff Williams also discussed mainte-

nance on a roadway used by the county in the

last year with Hinrichsen. Repairing a drainage

outlet was discussed as well.

Farm Bureau representative Kyle Bennett in-

vited the supervisors to a Feb. 10, 2020, meet-

ing. He also encouraged the board to continue

its use of master matrix evaluation procedures

regarding con�inements.

In other businessThe supervisors approved title sheets for

a box culvert in Galva Township and a bridge

deck in Douglas Township as presented by Wil-

liams.

Mid-Sioux Opportunity, Inc., administra-

tor Dick Sievers reviewed an annual report

with the board, as well as discussed the pro-

grams bene�iting Ida County. Sievers request-

ed $6,500 for the 2021 �iscal year budget. The

board will take action on Sievers’ request at a

later date.

Ed Sohm reviewed the master matrix evalu-

ation for John and Linda Lansink (J & L Pork

Site) in Blaine Township. J & L Pork Site is pro-

posing to convert two existing swine con�ine-

ments from sows to �inishers, with no new con-

struction. The board approved the application.

The supervisors approved Elizabeth Han-

shaw’s resignation as a member of the board

of health, effective Dec. 31.

Jackie Wittrock was approved by the board

as a full-time dispatcher/jailer at $17.98 per

hour, effective Dec. 9.

cation of cost allocation plan for Department of

Human Services’ reimbursement.
