Julie said ADMO “invested over $327,000 of services back into Humboldt County” over the past year. She told the board the agency served 3,408 individuals—about 500 fewer than the prior year—and 1,336 households, and that total service value included weatherization, LIHEAP energy assistance, food, housing assistance (deposits/rent), senior programs and youth programs.

Julie described category changes year to year: LIHEAP (energy assistance and crisis services) decreased to about $171,000; food assistance rose to about $64,000; senior programs decreased (to about $900), and housing assistance declined in part because ADMO has received other housing grants that cover some needs. ADMO also noted growing special projects such as Adopt-a-Family and Bike for Tykes.

Julie told supervisors a state data system that handles LIHEAP applications has performed poorly since launch, forcing ADMO to take paper applications and double‑enter data; the state amended the agency contract to provide extra money to cover the added administrative burden. Julie said the administrative disruption likely affected counts and service delivery and that ADMO is moving to a new data system that should allow unduplicated totals next year.

Supervisors asked questions about donations and restricted funds; Julie said donated items earmarked for a particular program (for example, Bike for Tykes) must remain in that fund and cannot be transferred to general operations without donor consent, although ADMO’s accountant has encouraged donors to give to operations so money can be used where needs arise.

Julie said ADMO has taken cost‑saving measures—reduced staff hours and other adjustments—while pursuing new revenue streams such as Giving Tuesday and stronger partnerships with local economic development staff. She asked the board to consider the same $12,000 county support as the previous year; supervisors said the county’s budget pressures mean they cannot guarantee full continuation but will consider the request as part of the budget process.

The transcript records no formal vote on the request during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Humboldt County Iowa Board of Supervisors Meeting 2024 12-09","oneSentenceSummary","Julie from ADMO requested the same $12,000 county contribution as last year and outlined program statistics: ADMO reported $327,000 of services delivered in the county, served 3,408 individuals (1,336 households), and cited state LIHEAP data‑system problems affecting intake.","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},6679552,"Supervisors discuss BD11 ditch cleanout; staff recommend public hearing before next‑year work",1092,1187000,2279000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2171445-7128900f26ac45c6df9d7cbd776b848f&start=1187&end=2279","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2171445-7128900f26ac45c6df9d7cbd776b848f/thumbnail_1187000.jpg","/articles/6679552/Humboldt-County/Iowa/Supervisors-discuss-BD11-ditch-cleanout-staff-recommend-public-hearing-before-nextyear-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6679552-1bb9863e7066bdb565f6e7f764f97433/orig.mp4?Expires=1775440443&Signature=NYop66xPYxBNN7QMTolnu9v2CshrtmD0H8Ybrx4jyyHSHIhRv47vkDAXStIFPdKt-zC3mHN50FRhxTYJSLMDvljszQpdBP6CE~nKyRHrYW8-YhvUufPdamUxv57b8IsSlG-vTkCSIAtiaOeVA9RD56BSBU45GQk7heqYf9uzK2~xZzqwl4bo0mWvyBmEcgOtg-Gu6NAwHg-8Q9uafukt81Nw5QCU~7L7zcTBxx0QdGMV2iiIyeSZXQjMccDd1LjUyUHpw-wLRWituISqaxXw76W7KUfLz6fCzwB5Am7zL2cmpJfcyXzHmGnLYpVrLrxCyQiz4HjJrxClDbGPGVVOeA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Supervisors heard a report from Travis Peterson on the condition of the BD11 main open ditch and a roughly two‑mile section that appears not to have been cleaned in 20–30 years. Peterson said the stretch contains significant silt and sand that can create a holding‑pond effect upstream and lead to bank failures if left unaddressed.

“...my main concern was what's gonna happen to the walls if that top end just fills up with water and sits there because that's where we see really the biggest problems,” Travis Peterson said, describing silt depths of roughly two to three feet in many locations and a pile up at an outlet that was about five feet deep.

Peterson estimated the cost to dig out the highlighted section at roughly $50,000, but said the final cost could be higher or lower depending on buried outlet pipes and other unknowns. Board members and staff discussed the county’s administrative thresholds: projects that exceed $50,000 generally require a public hearing for the drainage district. Supervisors recommended scheduling a hearing early in the new year to “cover all your bases” and to notify landowners in the drainage district.

Board members also discussed construction season timing and practical limits of working in frozen ground; Peterson and other staff said the work would likely be a next‑year project and that scheduling the hearing now would allow outreach to landowners and reduce schedule pressure in spring.

Supervisors and staff did not adopt a formal construction contract at the meeting. Instead, the board agreed that staff should prepare the public notice and hearing procedures required if final estimates approach or exceed the threshold that triggers a hearing.

The transcript records multiple technical details Peterson raised about the site — box culverts under roadways, buried pipe that may be discovered only after cleaning, sandy bank material adjacent to the gravel road, and spots where large boulders had been dumped into the channel — all of which could increase complexity and cost.","County staff reported that a roughly two‑mile section of the BD11 open ditch is heavily silted (2–3 feet in places), estimated cleanup cost about $50,000; staff recommended scheduling a public hearing early next year because projects above the $50,000 threshold trigger a required hearing.",{"_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},6679557,"Humboldt County approves 2080 agreement to join seven‑county Murray Bridge grant application",202,159000,361000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2171445-7128900f26ac45c6df9d7cbd776b848f&start=159&end=361","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2171445-7128900f26ac45c6df9d7cbd776b848f/thumbnail_159000.jpg","/articles/6679557/Humboldt-County/Iowa/Humboldt-County-approves-2080-agreement-to-join-sevencounty-Murray-Bridge-grant-application","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6679557-226dc2c986cd55c057319428aa7f5653/orig.mp4?Expires=1775440444&Signature=QqaYkFVdifbUPJzzfG~WSDhP2TCG1sql-7qcsVKVfaWo7Job7MhumIgR-VhxSnKlXbs1LqmjEWaM3GXmSafVnAbrIuojk1dBJO0ZB-27UP5I6gw~NSKHK-WxNuuFqnxQXYvmAX3ZojUig7lrxkbWN8bCj7v~dfknlfLHbnTglpNgTSlu1xhXz-TAMM6WMfEKh8fRGspmQELnKW3bOiLYfLaBS06mwPtR3oe79S8KpSxJ51~PVfCzYqZRk8ikU2NVRJHFzDVoQ8FB~gO8OuW~tzoOG8hImHnnA8Qk1SWGnsqsi8qIhzAObm2SwtD~vCkQlub8PR0eGdSNQssUxPPx-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors approved a 2080 agreement to join six other counties in a bundled RAISE-style bridge grant application for the Murray Bridge and passed Resolution 2024-12-09 to commit the county to that same project.

The agreement authorizes the county to participate in a seven-county application led through the Iowa County Engineers Association Service Bureau. Under the joint request, the group is applying for $25,000,000 split among the seven counties; the county’s portion was described in the meeting as approximately $2.5 million. County staff said the county already has $2,000,000 in competitive federal highway bridge funding toward the project.

County presenter Ben said the group is “re upping and and tweaking the application” after scoring five of eight categories in the prior round and aiming to score at least six. “They’re re‑upping and tweaking the application. So we need to score highly on — I think it’s six out of the eight categories that are in the application,” Ben said during the discussion.

The board held two formal actions on the item: a motion to approve the 2080 agreement with the Iowa County Engineers Association Service Bureau as the point lead, and a motion to adopt Resolution 2024-12-09 tying the county to the project. Both motions were made and seconded during the meeting and were approved by voice vote; no roll-call vote tally was recorded in the transcript.

Officials said the counties will continue to refine the application language and supporting materials to improve scoring. The county also noted the Iowa Department of Transportation and other partners will vet and narrow the large slate of bridge projects statewide; presenters said the DOT reduced the competing projects to a set the speaker called the “Magnificent 7,” which included this grouped application.

No schedule for construction or exact local match requirements was presented at the meeting. Supervisors and staff framed the vote as a necessary step to keep the county’s project competitive in the multi-county application process.
