The Webster County Supervisors approved raises for elected county officials at Tuesday’s meeting.

Resolution No. 2025-19 was unanimously approved by the supervisors without discussion, granting salary increases to elected officials.

Sheriff Luke Fleener will receive a 9.75% adjustment to make his salary $126,293. The money for his raise will come from the county’s rural basic fund.

County Attorney Darren Driscoll will receive a 2% increase to set his salary at $142,513. Auditor Shaunna Abrams, Recorder Lindsay Laufersweiler, and Treasurer Brenda Angstrom will all receive a 2% adjustment to make their salaries $85,241.

The 2% raise is the standard raise being given to all county employees this year.

The supervisor chair and supervisors did not accept salary increases.

The Conference Board, which oversees the Assessor’s Office, had also previously approved a 9.75% increase for County Assessor Angie Vinson, which was later approved by the supervisors.

The supervisors also approved the first consideration of an ordinance to rezone .36 acres of land located at 30559 249th Ave. in Burnside from general commercial to urban residential. According to Webster County Planning and Zoning Administrator Jeff Johnson, the parcel of land includes an abandoned church in Burnside. Chad and Marcia Halbach would like to turn the church into a single family dwelling. The final reading of the ordinance will be at the May 6 supervisors meeting.

A resolution objecting to the Iowa Utilities Commission’s authority to enact eminent domain authority within Webster County for privately owned and operated carbon dioxide pipelines was also unanimously approved by the supervisors.

“This resolution matches the intent of our objection to eminent domain and broadens it so it’s not just the comment on the docket before the Utilities Board,” said Supervisor Austin Hayek.
