The Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting on June 17, 2025, highlighted community engagement and public safety initiatives. During the meeting, Supervisor Crystal shared her recent experience with the Questers, a local group that successfully secured a grant for new signage at Lake Ahquabi. She praised the historical significance of the lake and the contributions of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the 1930s, encouraging residents to visit and appreciate the area.
In addition to community updates, Supervisor Crystal informed attendees about a police training drill scheduled for the following day at Wilder Elementary School. This drill, conducted in partnership with the Des Moines Police Department, will result in a significant police presence in the area, and the public was advised to be aware of this activity.
The meeting also included a segment for public input, although no immediate actions would be taken on comments due to open meeting laws. Residents were invited to share their concerns, with one individual, Mikaela from Acworth, expressing her ongoing issues since moving to Warren County.
Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of community involvement and public safety, with plans for future discussions on the matters raised by residents.
