Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors: the Disabled-Veteran Credit Certifications and the Commission Appointments
The Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors - meeting Mondays at 10:00 a.m. in the Courthouse Boardroom - carried the window's veteran items on its posted minutes: the November 17, 2025 approval of the Assessor's recommendations for 'homestead credits, disabled veteran homestead credits, homestead exemptions, and military exemptions for Assessment Year 2025', the May 27, 2025 appointment of Cindy Davis and the May 26, 2026 reappointment of Jessica Reith and Cecil Foell to the Veteran Affairs Commission, the January 21, 2026 budget review with 'Veteran Affairs - General Assistance', and the July 28, 2025 dues line for 'Paul Beatty, Veterans Service Officers, Inc'.

The board. "The Board meets regularly on Monday at 10:00 a.m. in the Boardroom of the Courthouse. Meetings are open to the public." The county posts each meeting's agenda, minutes and claims as PDFs; the window's files (January 2025 through November 2026) were downloaded and searched.
The credits. The November 17, 2025 minutes: "Ginapp moved with Callanan seconding, to approve the Assessor's recommendations for homestead credits, disabled veteran homestead credits, homestead exemptions, and military exemptions for Assessment Year 2025. Motion passed unanimously." The June 2025 and June 2026 minutes carry the state's proration estimates for the same credits - "the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance has estimated the prorated percentages of funding for the affected property tax credits as follows: Disabled Veteran's Homestead Credit 100% and Low-income, Elderly, Disabled Credit 100%" - and the FY 2025-2026 funding resolution "Disabled Veteran's Homestead Credit" at full funding.
The commission appointments. The May 27, 2025 minutes: "Callanan moved with Ginapp seconding, to appoint Cindy Davis to the Veteran Affairs Commission and Bill Phillips to the North Iowa Corridor/EDC Board. Motion passed unanimously." The May 26, 2026 minutes: "Ginapp moved with Watts seconding, to reappoint Jessica Reith and Cecil Foell to the Veteran Affairs Commission. Motion passed unanimously."
The office in the budget. The January 21, 2026 agenda's budget season: "Budget review with Veteran Affairs - General Assistance" (with the sheriff, public health, the attorney and court services around it); the June 2026 budget-setting minutes list the "Veterans Affair" department among the funds. The July 28, 2025 minutes approve the annual dues - "Iowa Association of County Commissioners and Paul Beatty, Veterans Service Officers, Inc" - the director's professional association. The holiday schedule's "Veterans Day, Tuesday, November 11, 2025" closes the courthouse, and the same line appears in the 2026 schedule. No proclamation and no other veteran item appears in the window's files, and no benefit was adopted, narrowed or repealed.
The courts. Iowa's two veterans treatment courts are the Third District's (Woodbury County) and the Fourth District's (Pottawattamie County); Cerro Gordo sits in the Second Judicial District, whose courthouse page the county's own site links.
