The board approved a Class C retail alcohol license for Otter’s Tavern, Inc. after a motion, a second and a voice vote. The board also approved two plats: one for property on Hawthorne requested by Joe Reesberg (owned by Joseph and Alyssa Reesberg) and a second requested by Ron Berdine (James and Rita Deltlinger Family Trust).

Item 3 on the agenda recorded a review and consideration of the fiscal year 2026 Carroll County Professional Paramedics Association union agreement. The presenter summarized the agreement as “the same thing we had last week” and said call pay \"went from $8.5 to $10 an hour and a 50 per or a 50¢ per hour, to each tier on their pay.\" A motion to approve was made and seconded; the transcript does not record a clear final voice vote or a formal \"motion carries\" statement for that item and includes the line \"All abstain\" immediately after the call for the vote. Because the transcript does not provide an explicit recorded outcome, the final vote outcome for that agreement is not specified in the record.

Secondary Roads sought and received approval to spend $232,746.60 to outfit two new trucks with plow boxes, hydraulics, sanders and related parts. Zach, speaking for Secondary Roads, described that the quoted amount covered parts only and that county staff would perform installation and hydraulic/electrical assembly; lead times for parts ranged from approximately two to six months and the chassis were expected in the July timeframe. A motion to approve the $232,746.60 expenditure was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the clerk recorded \"Motion carried.\" The purchase falls within the fiscal year 2026 budget the department presented.

Other routine actions included approval of the agenda and approval of minutes for previous meetings (motions and voice votes). Several items that generated discussion but no formal vote during the meeting included the Snyder & Associates/Highway 30 Coalition presentation and departmental updates from Secondary Roads.

The study, prepared by Snyder & Associates with economic analysis by consultant Mike Lipsman, estimated cost opinions for the two 40‑mile focus sections at roughly $300 million (Carroll area) and $311 million (Lisbon to DeWitt), for a combined opinion in the study of about $613 million. Schweers said the coalition spread those costs across a multi‑year program and projected construction phasing into the 2030s to make the program financially manageable for the Iowa DOT and state budgeting timelines.

\"Expanding US 30 deployments across Iowa is an important element of a comprehensive economic development strategy for counties located in the corridor,\" Schweers said during the presentation. He told the supervisors the report modeled demographic, traffic and economic trends over roughly a 30‑year window and concluded the corridor’s population and economic output justify expansion.

Schweers described a ‘‘rural‑4’’ design concept intended to limit property acquisition and construction cost by providing four‑lane segments between communities that taper to lower lane configurations through towns. He also said the study recommended bypasses for some communities — Missouri Valley and Grand Junction were cited as examples — primarily where rail spurs or downtown constraints cause extended truck delays or safety risks.

The presentation addressed freight and agriculture uses along US‑30, noting heavy semi traffic that serves elevators, terminals and other agricultural processors. Schweers said the coalition’s limited cost‑benefit analysis, focused on transportation time savings, returned about $1.27 for every $1 spent; the study did not include a full accounting of emissions or safety benefits because the coalition’s budget did not allow those additional analyses.

Schweers told the board the coalition commissioned Snyder & Associates because of that firm’s highway experience in Iowa and described outreach to roughly 17–19 private and public partners during the study. He said the coalition delivered the condensed presentation to the Iowa DOT and continues to press for statewide priorities that include completing US‑30 as a four‑lane corridor.

Board members asked technical and timeline questions during and after the presentation, including whether planned bypasses currently exist only around Missouri Valley (Schweers: \"That is correct\") and whether a recently enacted House bill would change DOT board composition and priorities. Schweers said two bills had passed the House that would (1) designate US‑30 a priority corridor and (2) change DOT commission representation; he said the priority bill had strong House support and was awaiting Senate action.

The supervisors did not take formal action or vote on the study at the meeting. Schweers said the coalition will continue to provide data to the DOT and to state legislators and offered to arrange follow‑up with Snyder & Associates staff for technical questions.

The study materials and the full 300‑plus page report for both the engineering and economic analyses are available from the Highway 30 Coalition; Schweers provided an email contact during the presentation for coalition follow‑up.","Adam Schweers, president of the Highway 30 Coalition, presented a 2022 coalition‑funded economic and engineering study recommending long‑term four‑lane upgrades to U.S. Highway 30, outlining proposed segments, cost estimates and a multi‑decade timeline.","actionData","errors"]
