A county official replied that the board of adjustment is supposed to meet quarterly under its current rules and that the planning staff would follow up. County staff agreed to place the item on the next week's agenda and requested that Matt (planning staff) attend the meeting to explain scheduling and the timing for holding a Board of Adjustment session.

County staff noted Kelsey would look at amending the board of adjustment rules so the board can set its own procedures. The county confirmed Matt is scheduled to be present at the next meeting on May 6 to answer questions about when a board-of-adjustment meeting can be scheduled.

The resident's complaint was recorded for follow-up; supervisors asked staff to report back with scheduling information and any rule changes or process steps required to resolve the outstanding review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-04-29 Winnebago County Supervisors","oneSentenceSummary","A resident raised a complaint that a Board of Adjustment review approved six months ago has not resulted in action, and county staff agreed to check scheduling and put the matter on next week's agenda with the county planning contact.","taxTitle","Winnebago County, Iowa","taxId",73035,"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},6575090,"Winnebago County to send staff to death-investigation training as medical examiner coverage is reorganized",800,1640000,2440000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3146685-92171e484de1d910c548cbb2eba1ca94&start=1640&end=2440","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3146685-92171e484de1d910c548cbb2eba1ca94/thumbnail_1640000.jpg","/articles/6575090/Winnebago-County/Iowa/Winnebago-County-to-send-staff-to-death-investigation-training-as-medical-examiner-coverage-is-reorganized","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575090-fe0a063aeae55817cd1c65e9751146c0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163882&Signature=jJG~ZebM491eCXqQ5bdk2Qo6xmnQnw8j5lJSMumsLB7SDNw3-Px8ue62ZUXJEY0tv3X0OPFFxbek1iL8CQ8ZHIrLxQw33F-MJ9ri3BcGsElyuXw2eRYAR3hk3bGyglLBkQRQEZl6fa70yOs33FcF0ZRgBbTcqllcEh87xJJ1-NoUxFbrurvBKT6Lh~3vfNsqdfzASWJhUInjRSkLI7OdbZjhBww6EjsBBs3gpbJRIGIkPoV0~4VHp6NKk18t2Bdpx13OeV3anKGjc1AZ-7bPz2NUyoUQtN9zoLQ5hhfpVeWZ5RMxLDwseqk1v9fwxvRbc19fUJhCeITKcTx-E6Q2xA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Winnebago County supervisors discussed steps to expand local medical examiner (ME) coverage and agreed to send county personnel to a Midwest death-investigation course in June as part of a short-term staffing plan.

County officials said the class is scheduled in Ankeny and costs $499 per person; the county has roughly $21,000 remaining in its autopsy and medical examiner training budget. Staff recommended sending three people to the course (names discussed included Thomas Gaither, Joe and Spencer) and said the county would cover class fees, hotel and mileage per county travel policy. The registration deadline for the course is Friday, staff said.

Officials also discussed supervision and credentialing: county staff described a plan in which the new local medical examiners would work under the state-appointed or contracted medical examiner until local arrangements are formalized. County staff said they expected to propose a short agreement requiring trainees to serve for a set period — staff discussed a two-year service expectation — if the county pays training expenses.

Administrative tasks and billing were covered: Jamie (county staff) offered to train the county office on scheduling and paperwork, county staff said. The county recorder will continue to process death certificates; if the state medical examiner report is needed, the recorder's office will direct people to the state office.

Officials also discussed operational contingencies: neighboring counties (Hancock and Kossuth were mentioned) have been informally contacted as potential temporary support while the county builds local capacity. No formal intergovernmental agreements were reported during the meeting.

County staff said they would work with county counsel and human resources to draft a training-agreement template, complete course registrations by the Friday deadline and return with a finalized plan and cost estimates.","County officials outlined plans to train local staff to increase medical examiner coverage, authorize registration for a June death-investigation course in Ankeny, and draft service agreements to assure coverage.",{"_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},6575093,"Winnebago County plans summer road preservation program, targets 31 miles",147,602000,749000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3146685-92171e484de1d910c548cbb2eba1ca94&start=602&end=749","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3146685-92171e484de1d910c548cbb2eba1ca94/thumbnail_602000.jpg","/articles/6575093/Winnebago-County/Iowa/Winnebago-County-plans-summer-road-preservation-program-targets-31-miles","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575093-1147f7d0d9cc750114fd2341cd14594e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163882&Signature=eG7p05tddfGk0iX8kZIbh7vfycvE0zA53~e9IVNZLAlOhg8-P1RoAXNrkcgDCJg0bBP1G8C1WjaszKOiwdP9FtDQ5SPvQvcxmFcmUyy~y2KL-Lmr2aaXF2-boWkvkR9iMvH9825XwMhbr1Wh6NYqfTNEOhOt1umMdMMQ6kXlBTt2w0ABbBLbL1R9E-JFAvlyZIiutU9iuxkDOIvCvYI33DIVls112Tcg4ePvlvvE3ytin6JvmRBhl4C~vAnNP-yw-J1neF7kkMASohUEHbQ~8l9uEblpeBPdyDZy6HkJpk0pXiHiMj9dtRdAua-1qKB5xybp8SYUsjEzTyBuo36DLw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Winnebago County road officials told supervisors the county will run multiple pavement-preservation projects this summer, including milling and hot-in-place recycling on five road segments and surface treatments aimed at extending pavement life.

Officials said contractors are scheduled to begin work in the second week of June and that five projects around the county are included: segments south of Buffalo on R 16, north of Buffalo on R 20, roads around Ray, a section near Osmond (R 50 and 830) and another segment south of A 16. Some projects will use federal dollars, county staff said.

For surface treatments, staff said the county will use two primary products: GSB 88 (a black fog/seal product used previously on a 50-mile project north of Highway 9) and a product referred to by staff as \"requalite,\" described as a maltene-based sealer that restores flexibility to sun-baked asphalt. Officials said they selected specific products for candidate roads based on age and condition with a goal of using the most cost-effective preservation for each road segment. County staff estimated a total of 31 miles of preservation treatments and said the county budgeted $412,000 for those preservation tools; staff also said they hoped to add two miles of microsurfacing in a program that uses mobile units for smaller stretches.

Staff identified the two miles of microsurfacing as the stretch east of Winnebago Church and said they expected to finalize quotes and execute contracts in the coming week. The county also described work methods and constraints: the contractors will avoid rain and try to limit windy conditions during hot-in-place operations because wind can make heating the pavement less effective and raises the risk of burns or sparks starting fires.

Officials noted that microsurfacing equipment creates tight longitudinal joints by driving around and applying a three-product mix; Varner (named by staff as one contractor under consideration) was identified as a possible vendor for microsurfacing.

In addition to preservation work, staff said FEMA reimbursements for earlier emergency work are arriving and that builders risk insurance has been activated for an above-ground county building project. Staff said they expect a busy summer and that preservation activities should touch much of the county's road network.

County staff did not provide a formal vote on the preservation plan during the discussion; the presentation was informational and supervisors asked staff to proceed with soliciting and finalizing quotes as appropriate.","County road officials outlined summer plans including milling, hot-in-place recycling on five projects, surface treatments (GSB 88 and Requalite), two miles of microsurfacing and a $412,000 budget for preservation work.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6575097,"Winnebago County sets May 27 hearings for DD 78 annexation and reclassification",250,205000,455000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3146685-92171e484de1d910c548cbb2eba1ca94&start=205&end=455","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3146685-92171e484de1d910c548cbb2eba1ca94/thumbnail_205000.jpg","/articles/6575097/Winnebago-County/Iowa/Winnebago-County-sets-May-27-hearings-for-DD-78-annexation-and-reclassification","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575097-eb5b3bef746a38e1026f93f007777fde/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163882&Signature=JFiFtm6Egwj0ehfeGpWzQyj9kcnHujdQi8--k3GvZRQ0t2nSIiGMWt-YoQXgNyXH-18bU5XbSavqNnNc7Ta8X3~CF4vDbG53-P8uYawJ~LUEZuS~trhorvyzQ5VinklYb1u4s9aKnYXI3QmAPjq~m78OM2mlhLm3uw6NrROvMUcJ69CH8tgBOBgDmmmXbRPLHOVxNWAK7hWwV87crRrbUft977ktTxDV6b9mDDzU3NxEMvnKxG2GFx1VXim-z-uYxBHcvShXqETucBsd29I8yYbruicL8gNHwVFhYwPbahSz41HaoK~ctBGowg7k9P5BJbiRo8k-rIaP1v8nYPAvkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Winnebago County supervisors set two public hearings for May 27 to consider annexing parcels into Drainage District DD 78 and to approve a related reclassification report.

County staff recommended a May 27 hearing at 10:00 a.m. to consider annexation of parcels into DD 78 and recommended a 10:05 a.m. hearing the same day for the reclassification report. A motion to set the annexation hearing was made and seconded and approved by voice vote; a separate motion to set the reclassification hearing was also moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

The annexation and reclassification processes are intended to bring specific parcels into the district's ditch and tile benefit schedules. Staff described parcel-level adjustments that factor into the benefit calculations, including distance to facilities, use, runoff and an adjustment factor. Two property examples discussed in the staff report were:
- A north parcel owned by Carl Wagner that staff identified as a permanent wetland and thus given a substantial reduction because it \"will never be floodable.\"
- A south-side parcel owned by Mark Johnson that is enrolled in Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) tree cover; staff said the ground is unlikely to be farmed again and that parcel also received a significant reduction.

Supervisors did not record roll-call votes; motions were approved by voice vote. Staff will publish formal notice of the public hearings and provide the hearing records and reports for public inspection before the May 27 sessions.

The hearings will allow affected landowners and other stakeholders to comment before the board considers final administrative action on annexation and reclassification for DD 78.","The board set two public hearings for May 27 to consider annexing parcels into Drainage District (DD) 78 and to approve a reclassification report affecting the district's ditch and tile benefit schedules.","actionData","errors"]
