Linn County supervisors steer policy with new first-term board
Linn County's three supervisors manage a broad agenda from adopting ordinances to setting the levy and signing the annual budget. Last week they updated employee recognition and promotion policies while last month approving a transition to Iowa's new district based mental health system. Running-Marquardt, a Cedar Rapids Democrat elected in 2022, is the senior member and emphasizes fiscal responsibility and collaborative governance. Meisheid highlights a one cent drop in the 2026 county property tax rate, which affects about 16 percent of residents' tax bills.
