In mid-October, Bremer County’s auditors will arrive to begin reviewing the county’s financial operations for Fiscal Year 2026. The Treasurer’s Office will be actively involved by providing financial records, bank and investment documentation, reconciliations, receipts and other information requested during the review.

Bremer County has received favorable audit results in each of the past three years, including unmodified opinions on the county’s financial statements. Auditors also reported no violations of Iowa law or county policy involving the Treasurer’s deposits and investments.

The audits included certain countywide findings. Those applicable to the Treasurer’s Office involved the limited segregation of some receipt-processing and check-signing duties within a small staff, as well as an accounting procedures manual that remained under development. These internal-control limitations were documented before I took office and were not findings of missing or misappropriated funds.

The annual audit is an important part of accountability in county government. I will once again participate directly in the process and work with the auditors to provide the records and documentation needed to complete a thorough review of Fiscal Year 2026.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽?

A customer recently called after seeing a Facebook discussion about motorcycle skills examinations no longer being offered in Bremer County. After we explained the facts, they suggested we share them publicly.

Demand for these examinations had already been declining well before 2023. More riders were choosing approved motorcycle rider education courses, where they receive hands-on instruction and can satisfy the skills testing requirement. Many courses also provide the motorcycle used for training and testing, eliminating the need for the applicant to provide one.

Meanwhile, our course on 6th Street NE was a poor location for novice riders. Portions placed riders less than 30 inches from a curb while performing low-speed maneuvers. It blocked three residential driveways, disrupted traffic, and vehicles could enter the course while testing was underway.

Then the City of Waverly’s 2023 seal coating project left loose rock chips on the roadway, making an already marginal course safely unusable for novice motorcycle testing.

An alternate location was pursued with the Waverly Shell Rock School District in June 2023, but an agreement was not reached. Finding another parking lot is not simply a handshake. Access, insurance, responsibility and liability all have to be addressed.

One other important fact: our 28E agreement with the Iowa DOT specifically says Bremer County is not required to provide motorcycle or CDL skills examinations. We do not provide CDL skills testing for many of the same practical reasons. These are specialized, optional services.

This was not the elimination of a service used by every Bremer County taxpayer. It was an operational decision involving a specialized examination with declining demand, a significant safety problem, no suitable replacement location, and established training alternatives already available.

For someone seeking a motorcycle endorsement today, an Iowa-approved rider education course remains a practical option. Successful completion may waive the separate motorcycle skills test.

The facts simply supported the decision.

It isn’t always the case that your envelope will receive a postmark cancellation the same day you put it in the collection receptacle. Be sure to guarantee a September 30th postmark to avoid late fees by requesting a hand-cancellation.

Additionally: All property tax payments in the dropbox located on the north side of the courthouse as of 7:00am on October 1, 2026, will be considered on time.

Yesterday, the Iowa State Association of Counties made their 76th stop of their 99 county tour in Bremer County. Their staff shared the benefits of being a member of ISAC and fielded questions from elected officials and department heads. The group also discussed efficiencies the county has implemented or is considering.

(Treasurer Hoffman was not able to be present for the entire meeting or the post meeting group photo as there was a prior engagement he had to fulfill.)

As we wind down National DMV Appreciation month, we wanted to sport the shirts provided through the Iowa Donor Network’s partnership with the Iowa Department of Transportation.

Organ donation is an important decision for all to consider. To make a difference … all you have to do is say “YES”.

Did you know your Bremer County Treasurer helps prepare county treasurer offices across Iowa for emergencies, not just respond to them?

In 2025, your County Treasurer, Adam Hoffman, was appointed as one of just nine county treasurers from Iowa's 99 counties to serve on the Iowa State County Treasurers Association's Emergency Response and Recovery Committee.

Following the devastating Greenfield tornado in May 2024 and the Clay County flooding in June 2024, the Iowa Department of Transportation established a small task force to strengthen emergency preparedness, continuity of operations, and disaster recovery planning for county treasurer offices. The Iowa State County Treasurers Association later expanded that task force into the committee that exists today.

Treasurer Hoffman was one of only two county treasurers selected for the original task force because of his professional experience and bachelor's degree in Emergency Management, helping establish the committee's initial direction.

Today, the committee identifies best practices, shares resources, and develops guidance to help county treasurer offices continue serving the public during natural disasters, technology disruptions, and other emergencies.

Most committee work is conducted virtually or during the Iowa State Association of Counties Spring and Fall Conferences, allowing collaboration while minimizing additional travel and taxpayer expense.

Serving on the Emergency Response and Recovery Committee ensures Bremer County has a voice in strengthening emergency preparedness and continuity planning for county treasurer offices throughout Iowa.
