Board of Supervisors
Floyd County has a 3-person board of supervisors, elected at large by citizens throughout the county. Individuals serve 4-year terms with elections held every two years. The Board elects one supervisor of its members to serve as chair.
The Board has both legislative and administrative powers and is the policy-making body for Floyd County government. With its authority to adopt legislation and policies for department operations, the board sets priorities, allocates resources and maintains budgetary control.
Workshop meetings are typically held every Monday and regular meetings where action is taken are held the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Meetings generally start at 9 a.m. and are held in the Board Room, second floor of the Floyd County Courthouse. Meetings are open to the public. Agendas are posted at least 24 hours prior to meetings on the bulletin board near the ground floor entrance of the courthouse as well as on this Floyd County website.

Interested in serving on a county board or commission?
It is the goal of the Board of Supervisors to make public service on county boards/commissions as inclusive as possible in order to receive input from all Floyd County citizens regardless of race, creed, age, gender, sexual orientation, or political affiliation. The Supervisors shall determine on a case by case basis if any county resident should be considered for reappointment notwithstanding the number of terms or length of service any individual may have already served on a county board/commission. In making appointments to the boards/commissions, the Supervisors will consider among other things the willingness, interest, and abilities of the applicant to serve Floyd County as expressed in Floyd County’s Board/Commission application form, any special training or characteristics required by the Iowa Code to fulfill specific appointments, and the Supervisor’s goal to have a geographical distribution of board/commission members from all parts of Floyd County. In addition, in every appointment the Supervisors will make a good faith effort to comply with the Iowa Code Gender Balance Law.
