(Shelby Co.) The Shelby County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a resolution to become a Home Base Iowa Initiative County.
According to the meeting minutes, the resolution states that the Home Base Iowa initiative is an effort to match military veterans with jobs available across Iowa. One of the requirements for Shelby County to be a Home Base Iowa County is that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution of support. The Shelby County Board of Supervisors finds that it is in the best interests of the County of Shelby and veterans everywhere to support the Home Base Iowa initiative and adopt this resolution. Residents and businesses are encouraged to take whatever actions are necessary to become and continue to be a Home Base Iowa County and Home Base Iowa Business.
In other news, the Supervisors set a date for the auction of the County Farm and Solid Waste ground rental on December 20th at the Regular Board of Supervisors meeting to be held at the Therkildsen Center. This location is tentative.
The Supervisors also approved a resolution fixing the dates for three public hearings on the proposition to amend various sections of the Shelby County Zoning Ordinance for the purpose of regulating and restricting the use of land for the transport of hazardous liquid through a hazardous liquid pipeline. The proposed amendment to the ordinance would establish a general requirement to obtain a conditional use permit for hazardous liquid pipelines that would apply county-wide and that would affect the use of land for such purposes in each zoning area or district in the county.
The Board will meet in the Therkildsen Center in Harlan at 10:00 A.M. on October 18 and October 25 and at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Harlan at 10:00 A.M. on November 1 for the purpose of hearing public comment on and for considering and voting on the passage of the proposed amendment.
