Kieper will have another status conference July 26 at 1:30 p.m., at which time he has the right to change his pleas should he so desire. According to the criminal complaint, which was based on limited available records, Kieper, now 69, stole $242,684.26 from the Town of Ackley from 2013 to 2023, and $80,458.02 from Rural Fire Control from 2017 to 2023.
