The Mahaska County Board of Supervisors met yesterday morning and approved 28E agreements for Police Protection Services with the cities of Beacon and Keomah Village. The agreements lend the services of the Mahaska County Sheriff’s Department to those cities with the county receiving money in return. 

The board also approved reimbursement agreements with Union Pacific Railroad for the cost to review both the Southeast Connector Project and the bridge replacement project on County Road G29, each of which encroach upon their railroad right-of-ways. The combined reimbursement totaled $90,000.
