(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has approved the sale of about 5-acres at the county landfill.
The Commission voted unanimously last week to allow Ian Schuetz, of Hiawatha, to purchase the property for $3,750 an acre, contingent upon the area being surveyed and public notice being published.
The tract would provide access to landlocked property owned by his family.
In other business, the Commission was presented with a revised preliminary 2026 budget and hearing notice reflecting a proposed maximum mill rate of 44.6 mills.
The commission voted to approve the notice of hearing to exceed the revenue neutral rate of about 36 mills and budget hearing for publication.
The hearings will take place August 25 at 9 am at the Brown County Courthouse.
