DES MOINES—On a 6-3 vote, the Iowa Public Information Board (IPIB) dismissed an open meetings complaint filed by Tracy Carlson of Whittemore against the Kossuth County Board of Supervisors.
Both Carlson and Kossuth County Attorney Todd Holmes, representing the county board, spoke at the May 20 meeting, which was held electronically.
Although the board of supervisors was not found to have violated the state’s open meetings law, the final dismissal order issued by the IPIB provided guidance to the county board in light of Carlson’s allegations.
