The board also renewed a county benefit reimbursing 50% of single rec-center memberships for employees for 2025.

The actions were taken during routine business at the meeting. Board member 2 (role/title not specified) moved to approve Voucher No. 4 for the multipurpose building’s Secondary Roads portion; Board member 3 (role/title not specified) seconded. “So all you're really looking for is approval of the voucher number 4 for secondary roads. Yes…so I'd make a motion for set approval for voucher number 4 for the multipurpose building in Dakota City for secondary roads portion,” Board member 2 said. The motion carried.

The county’s staff and supervisors also discussed punch-list items for the multipurpose building that remain after a walkthrough. Secondary Roads staff reported that the voucher “pays for everything except for the remaining roughly 14,000 for overhead doors and retainage,” and described small remaining work items including door seals, flashing, a roller replacement and one panel that needs replacement. Staff said they will compile a final checklist for remaining items and follow up.

On employee wellness, a wellness-committee representative presented usage data showing about 15 employees used the rec center in the most recent fiscal year. The presenter said the county reimbursed half of a single membership last year and recommended continuing the same arrangement. Board member 3 moved to accept the 50% membership reimbursement for 2025 and was seconded; the motion was approved.

Other routine votes taken at the meeting included approval of the agenda and of Dec. 16 minutes and authorization of claims. For the claims discussion an official noted drainage claims and general claims figures reviewed during the meeting; specific line-item details were discussed by staff.

The board did not take additional substantive policy actions beyond these approvals during the session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Humboldt County Iowa Board of Supervisors Meeting 2024 12-23","oneSentenceSummary","Humboldt County Board of Supervisors members approved routine agenda items, a Secondary Roads payment tied to the Dakota City multipurpose building and the continuation of a 50% employee rec-center membership reimbursement.","taxTitle","Humboldt County, Iowa","taxId",73084,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6687118,"County reviews mobile food pantry totals and opioid-coalition outreach as mental-health access changes loom",270,1095000,1365000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2171442-4db27abf132ac344d01d905be8114c1b&start=1095&end=1365","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2171442-4db27abf132ac344d01d905be8114c1b/thumbnail_1095000.jpg","/articles/6687118/Humboldt-County/Iowa/County-reviews-mobile-food-pantry-totals-and-opioid-coalition-outreach-as-mental-health-access-changes-loom","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6687118-4228933926636df322a0e45162386e16/orig.mp4?Expires=1776173970&Signature=M~58Vz0Q3YYy~gkicEELqb4YvDgtzmeb357BFEU9vvoGFb6znNqV53GHAf-vLvrru4SZAknwye6PEhPn916G0lOhUnACWtY0O-ZwBs8H~9VzS0blVZuXS3BiQ~cGAqBxxN9ZllmC1dXv~TKzSLKGcnlypwkA~7WG8eSEbd2bs6egpui2jKX8EkvA2MpiVCU7eRDhSz~OrNMpmE2IRPbUS2DRZ5VMF0Ia8MYvDWEMIsSFNzQ-Y8dr7UEX8D1XzGAqS6QgltbQMLM9QtVW~aa--BO9boa2Hf1nyRNMX2JGbPBplROldaDGnH12bV7OKNlyDkP8Oshbo3mY-tOLMlCJcQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Humboldt County officials received statistics from the county’s mobile food pantry program and an update from the Humboldt County opioid/alcohol coalition on outreach and mental-health service planning.

The mobile pantry coordinator reported distribution numbers from recent events: Livermore served 29 families (53 family members), Humboldt site counts included 27 families and 331 family members, and the countywide total was reported as 219 families and 449 family members. The coordinator said 36 volunteers supported the effort and said the next mobile pantry is scheduled for Feb. 13. The speaker noted that holiday distributions drew large crowds and that local donations and Hy-Vee checkout donations helped some families leave with supplemental certificates.

Separately, a coalition representative told the board the state restricts how opioid-prevention advertising funds may be used and requires proof that ads reach the targeted 45-and-older demographic; local newspapers and radio have been unable to provide the demographic proof required by the state. The coalition is coordinating with CFR and MercyOne for prevention work and is discussing training for churches and community groups to improve local response capacity.

The coalition representative also raised broader concerns about changes in mental-health service delivery: the Iowa Primary Care Association (referred to in discussion as the community-health group taking a coordinating role) is expected to handle statewide mental-health coordination, which participants said may mean fewer local clinicians and longer wait lists. Speakers reported therapists carrying caseloads of about 60 where 40 was typical, and wait lists up to six months for services. One participant summarized the change by saying, “They have a goal. They just don't have a plan on how to get there.”

No formal board action was taken on the coalition’s items; members said they would work with local partners and community groups to develop local prevention and training initiatives and to track how state-level changes affect county services.","Officials reviewed mobile food pantry distribution figures and volunteer counts and heard that an opioid/alcohol coalition is struggling with state advertising restrictions and broader changes to mental-health service delivery that could increase wait lists and reduce local access.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6687123,"Supervisors flag beaver dams on Prairie Creek, raise drainage concerns that cross county lines",57,923000,980000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2171442-4db27abf132ac344d01d905be8114c1b&start=923&end=980","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2171442-4db27abf132ac344d01d905be8114c1b/thumbnail_923000.jpg","/articles/6687123/Humboldt-County/Iowa/Supervisors-flag-beaver-dams-on-Prairie-Creek-raise-drainage-concerns-that-cross-county-lines","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6687123-8bea8a7166b06900507797bdf8801d84/orig.mp4?Expires=1776173970&Signature=FNbqKSxZQJEqxubEMUWbPZqbpH8nE4B21SnQffM6WQWgZd2x1kUuWrjSmskPIbLN4b1KxjCSbiGMEaiKYSAy-0GZ8EXx1iCiyI~p35UwPq6keO4IuqX~-jLkuCLPkQdHYcLld6f3Ar~RJ91XQnpLdmSCpXpSfg-nNLrzhzVz1rz2rtWQfH~RR9NHr1ylxAZJ3lihROZqQOxiPr2PR816nSrsXEoeQrRpgXj4yiEsGeOPaQYZrw2eMMOyDoMEupu7q20IUo4~U-nBjenSHBC7w3hclDBYV6h3ncrxpV-06Ncraz6L0AOPQcmM7VPWuyEsKpQOHgf9UPOZ9P42NVkE4A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Humboldt County supervisors discussed beaver activity on Prairie Creek and associated drainage problems during general reports. A board participant reported multiple dams—“like, 7 dams and a half mile” of activity—and said water levels were high enough that many drainage pipes were “half underwater.” The area noted in the discussion crosses into Wright County.

The speaker said the beaver activity had raised the water level in the natural stream and that the backed-up water reaches adjacent drainage ditches, potentially affecting tile and outlet performance. They said the work would likely require landowner permission and could be a substantial undertaking because of the number of dams.

Board members and staff discussed trapping as part of a control strategy; a local trapper was reported to have removed several beavers in a nearby township. Participants noted permits and seasonal restrictions can apply to trapping and that some trappers operate under special permits that allow out-of-season removal in certain circumstances.

No formal action was taken at the meeting; supervisors agreed to continue discussing the issue and to investigate options, including contacting landowners for permission and coordinating with neighboring jurisdictions where the stream crosses county lines.","Board members discussed extensive beaver activity on Prairie Creek that is backing up water, flooding drainage pipes and potentially affecting downstream districts, and asked staff to explore responses including landowner permission and trapping options.","actionData","errors"]
