For documentation and follow‑up, county staff will proceed with the approved assessments and permit processing consistent with county procedures and applicable codes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Carroll County Iowa Board of Supervisors Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At the May 19 meeting the Carroll County Board of Supervisors approved a utility permit for a new chicken barn, approved fiscal year 2026 drainage assessments covering seven drains, granted a retail tobacco license to Al's Corner Company and approved a 2025 tax suspension list of five properties.","taxTitle","Carroll County, Iowa","taxId",69003,"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},6639782,"Secondary roads updates: paving and bridge work proceed while board weighs additional safety measures at 150th & Noble",456,794000,1250000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3377798-e7d0bf27728bda8ad11ea31bddfbb034&start=794&end=1250","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3377798-e7d0bf27728bda8ad11ea31bddfbb034/thumbnail_794000.jpg","/articles/6639782/Carroll-County/Iowa/Secondary-roads-updates-paving-and-bridge-work-proceed-while-board-weighs-additional-safety-measures-at-150th-Noble","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639782-7b2b11c021c1ab681eb5214e3189b321/orig.mp4?Expires=1776664792&Signature=A5xPXwxuxLB~bk~zBevZdqhiEzWxWXY262DP~2jiwjzIhKg4esr5AD2DbovmrQAY19~k0NOjvKbr5U7bsJdA~AR8z0~S53LVh3UW2MMRr8QkQgFObjK2numtlib6-0FX3Bei15qCwCvs0xx7Y7x2V2nIS3UEGnrSBcCmB7CQAaNFQGSaGEQPs-G9qqVLija3Xh87TGJva~hcjQ~YYQ9m4FDri~TeUz6UkyG0a9c~4sE3YdACU4W~cSNJmQPPPA5IAQNftZiQz4fRFKAulSU5N53NvXE48vpaG2GFexmEmtQJxe4uiIHC9f9944dt7swxh-zwRQeYABoG7k7b2Rf~iw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Carroll County secondary roads staff updated the Board of Supervisors on ongoing paving and bridge projects and discussed safety options for an intersection at 150th & Noble after multiple complaints that motorists fail to stop.

Zach, a secondary roads staff member, said HMA asphalt work on Dedham and Manning is complete from an asphalt standpoint, but pavement markings and rumble strips remain to be installed. He said crews are moving on other projects — including an intermediate layer on Lauderdale Road — and that bridge abutments were formed and poured, and piles had been driven on another bridge project.

Zach described recent rumble‑strip work countywide: crews cut 15 new panels at several intersection legs and recut about 30 panels elsewhere to restore full depth and improve audibility. \"We went and evaluated all throughout the county,\" he said, and described HMA patching operations that paused for rain.

Supervisors raised a continuing complaint at 150th & Noble (also referred to in the meeting as near North Maple River and Ivy). The board and staff noted the intersection has a stop sign, a stop‑ahead sign and rumble strips; residents reported vehicles still running the stop during daytime hours. Board members and staff discussed possible additional countermeasures including LED stop signs and flashing‑light fixtures.

According to staff, LED stop signs cost \"just north of $4,000,\" and an LED flashing light unit is \"a little less\" — staff said he was \"thinking more like $1,700–$1,800\" for the flashing light (comments recorded on the meeting transcript). Staff also warned of maintenance and longevity concerns: some LED units have failed after a few years and replacement inventory can be limited.

Board members discussed other constraints: the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) sets standards for sign placement and that creating a stop condition by adding a stop sign on the through (East‑West) route could conflict with those standards. Staff said sight distance at the intersection is adequate and that physical countermeasures — rumble strips, signs and potential solar LED devices — are among the remaining options.

Supervisors asked staff to continue monitoring and, where warranted, to deploy available devices; staff said one flashing unit remained in county stock and could be installed to test effectiveness. The board did not take a separate formal vote on installing LED or flashing devices during the meeting.

Other operational notes: crews recovered milled shoulder material at Manning, addressed driveway and intersection repairs, applied dust control near projects, and continue to schedule pavement markings once multiple projects are complete. Staff encouraged reporting of specific problem locations so crews can evaluate whether further engineering or pavement adjustments are required.","County secondary roads staff reported progress on asphalt and bridge projects, rumble‑strip work and HMA patching, and discussed complaints about motorists missing the stop at 150th & Noble; staff described existing controls, MUTCD standards and the costs and limitations of LED/flashing devices.",{"_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},6639787,"New drainage firm Agravia pitches ag‑drainage services to Carroll County supervisors",509,81000,590000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3377798-e7d0bf27728bda8ad11ea31bddfbb034&start=81&end=590","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3377798-e7d0bf27728bda8ad11ea31bddfbb034/thumbnail_81000.jpg","/articles/6639787/Carroll-County/Iowa/New-drainage-firm-Agravia-pitches-agdrainage-services-to-Carroll-County-supervisors","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639787-3337aca96ee33e55f96f944420d4bd47/orig.mp4?Expires=1776664792&Signature=BCHp3kMVvCLFlCOBvZik-ssIdDqzXQwb6JRxIswOK2JouomyNnk0-Rc3tALtsGVE0wfdO5~QTSr7pZaKYRAy8J-pe-~fpr~fPcmgLSXUCjGEnvHl90Hoh5YtGlZSp0~WLUlSFoMykq-zklvf5WMOrhBaVUTGqXVafkE1j1YCBKRBS4mu4apOYjeOvioKckRj82SImZ9GrYJIltXX5WMxDArh9TCj1rqaA0L3f4IhCHXkqbZSoCHzNXeDLGymxMeCjhGdNNDHo641M20aA2WRnNft-6lW7GnxUnyHaEhk3CmBVLEeLmhURSe8HDtSyZXawpuF8VjwVruwTfx9WdlMUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jacob Hagen and Tyler Beeman, founders of a new firm called Agravia, told the Carroll County Board of Supervisors on May 19 that they plan to offer focused agricultural drainage engineering services to the county and its drainage districts.

Agravia’s founders said the firm will perform surveys, feasibility studies, engineering design, public meetings and construction oversight for drainage improvement projects. Jacob Hagen said he has about 10 years of experience and Beeman said he has about three; both described Agravia as a small, low‑overhead firm based in Perry that wants to prioritize nearby Carroll County work.

Hagen said many of Carroll County’s drainage districts are old and undersized and that a proactive approach — including landowner outreach and petitions when appropriate — can head off larger problems. \"We want to get ahead of issues before they become big issues,\" Hagen said during the presentation.

Beeman described the firm’s process for larger improvement projects: survey, study, prepare plans and specifications, run public meetings and hearings, and see the project through construction. He added that Agravia can be used where in‑house engineering resources are insufficient or when the county or landowners need a hired engineer for code requirements.

The presenters said Agravia charges a flat $100 per hour \"per time spent,\" and that price is intended to be inclusive of mileage and equipment to pass savings to landowners. They emphasized their concentration exclusively on drainage work and said they expect to pursue projects across multiple branch districts in the county.

Supervisors who were present introduced themselves and had no follow‑up motions tied directly to the presentation. The board thanked the presenters; later on the agenda the board approved seven drainage assessments for FY26 (see separate \"Votes at a glance\").

Agravia left contact information with county staff and the board encouraged staff to keep the firm’s details on file for future drainage improvement needs.","Agravia founders Jacob Hagen and Tyler Beeman introduced a new, locally focused ag‑drainage engineering firm to the Carroll County Board of Supervisors, describing services from studies and design through construction oversight and saying they plan to charge a flat $100 per hour inclusive rate.","actionData","errors"]
