The motion to receive the resignation and the subsequent appointment were approved unanimously.

Supervisors approved use of the courthouse parking lot for the 2025 Marion Farmers Market season; the market was moved to the lot because the courthouse lawn is under construction. The board also approved continuing participation with CICS (the local mental health and disability services provider) through the MHDS closeout process, allowing continuity of services during transition.

Wright County Economic Development staff, with members of the county website committee including Andy Flagg and Courtney Morris, updated supervisors on an upcoming website maintenance window planned Tuesday, June 3 through Friday, June 6. Staff said maintenance will not interrupt normal public use (links, forms, and the Beacon system will continue to work) but county offices will not be able to post updates, such as transfer book additions or new job postings, during that period. Staff asked departments to submit any items that must appear on the site before maintenance begins.

Other administrative items reported included a final voucher for a bridge project (BRSDashSWAP-C099/100-FF-99) completed in 2022 and staff updates on meetings and events; the board accepted those routine updates.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Wright County Iowa Board of Supervisors May 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board accepted a township resignation, appointed a replacement through 2028, approved use of courthouse parking for the Marion Farmers Market for 2025, continued participation with CICS through MHDS closeout, and heard a website update with scheduled maintenance June 3–6.","taxTitle","Wright County, Iowa","taxId",47114,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6534558,"Wright County approves secondary roads budget amendment; road and bridge projects underway",69,1579000,1648000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3553785-3ce44d75ee7fe2b39fdb06ccd2077935&start=1579&end=1648","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3553785-3ce44d75ee7fe2b39fdb06ccd2077935/thumbnail_1579000.jpg","/articles/6534558/Wright-County/Iowa/Wright-County-approves-secondary-roads-budget-amendment-road-and-bridge-projects-underway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534558-62ee79d6f9506c762c1d65a1cdd5fa49/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442634&Signature=QhC-AAhMenXAjsU0v8R3kFVMiVZdGIMyBsZdc5n8Lepjn1V45~tFrazu71cxRuZe8IphfRpRUBwsAgoZBFe8se~K7TliGSd2lJ~aJqZgtjCFvToFZ~ctRJHuIm2vDUP7S3pvx2wKUB6Fszx~IclyRinjRqOeyYvM7CyFpA3phsEX6M8pu7Kiug2reufKl4O9Vyy-MAuFyVEIdttL3I2HaIQKN8FF5J3jBDM5KoAdYzW05jVv~W8c90YI8WKJAGC1DSe79PAB-5zbMuYuHpGqRuWsNI-dsX9uqFQl5jkOI8V-xBg9Kh03GEoDvCY3wRpfcHjj6ZT7nPWrIbvJbHM0Kg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wright County Board approved Amendment No. 1 to the secondary roads budget to mirror items included in the county’s budget amendment. The amendment includes a construction allocation of $629,000 to fund projects such as a bridge near Belmont and other construction needs; the amendment also records $575,000 in federal aid bridge replacement revenue to reimburse eligible bridge work.

The secondary roads update reported routine blading, dust-control preparations and ongoing hauling of rock. Crews completed 31 of 88 miles of a scheduled rock program and finished hard-surface mowing before Memorial Day, the report said. Trucks are hauling material and one road (200th and 70th Street) has one mile remaining for work; crews plan to do grading and cut shoulders to restore a 24-foot top with 2-foot shoulders in heavily used sections.

Supervisors discussed phasing work in quarter-mile sections so landowners retain access during construction; staff said they will coordinate with landowners and pause work for the county fair if needed. The board approved the secondary roads amendment by unanimous vote and signed the paperwork to process the changes.

The amendment authorizes use of federal reimbursement for bridge work; the county will pay out project costs and seek reimbursement under federal-aid bridge replacement rules, per the presentation.","The board approved Amendment No. 1 to the secondary roads budget to align with county budget changes; the amendment includes $629,000 in construction (partly funded by $575,000 federal bridge replacement funds) and updates on grading, rock hauling and a multi-mile roadway project.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":42,"_43":89,"_45":89,"_46":90,"_48":91,"_50":92,"_52":93,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":94,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":95,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6534563,"Wright County drainage trustees approve work orders, assessments and drainage invoices",295000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3553785-3ce44d75ee7fe2b39fdb06ccd2077935&start=295&end=295","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3553785-3ce44d75ee7fe2b39fdb06ccd2077935/thumbnail_295000.jpg","/articles/6534563/Wright-County/Iowa/Wright-County-drainage-trustees-approve-work-orders-assessments-and-drainage-invoices","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534563-2ccbdcbfadda5c2eb8b30ee67be61143/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442634&Signature=FNlSXop~Bmn8CZehXd1iNMvbksA1XIw4r9E5~nM68baoExfhGiC5x1HZsHwsaT60QKsYEpkmTKeGtgUR4CrdgmEKeTtyRK7wg-o72rFRnQkGGfHHjawefNlnQ7CnYRXYH6Q9K0fnnew1dPfNczl99xhXITEFva~us5nhKUVL7BedOEotQpRWepAx7aH2BZ3uGnd-cmpohM~EzCAxCbjKowSeS4lr8BDUAia6Sj7pPp36d4W07MNT~O-3Du1q1oQHqgQV2cZA0LzrgLC9Cd8blpXYSjij~6ftbUleOsiCfXjbTM3UxkPysCCtivquBE4kFxOGFdUR8qMe-LR5RFl0WQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustees for Wright County’s drainage districts met in regular session and approved two work orders to address damaged tile and other drainage repairs, accepted joint-district assessments and approved a set of drainage invoices submitted by private contractors.

Courtney Morris, branch administrator, said two work orders were reviewed and approved: one for Sub Drainage District 58 in Morway Township for a main-tile blowout approximately 60 feet from a fence line, and another in Joint Branch District 121–54 in Section 33 of Morway Township for a tile blowout. Morris recommended obtaining price estimates to replace sections of shallow, reinforced concrete tile with dual-wall plastic pipe for a longer-term fix on at least one site.

Morris presented the 2025 joint assessment for a joint branch district shared with Hardin, Franklin and Hamilton counties. The total levy for that district was listed as $146,065.78, with Wright County’s share equal to $6,571.63. Trustees voted to approve the joint assessment.

The trustees also approved the county’s 2025 drainage district assessments as submitted; Morris explained the assessment table shows an option for eligible districts to waive payments for a specified number of years and that administrative fees are calculated at 3 percent plus $5 per tract for the assessment year.

The board approved several drainage-related invoices from contractors and vendors: Braun Tree Service ($20,354.88) for hydroseeding at DD 36 lateral C ditch; Mountain Movers ($1,841.80) for work in DD 184; Mountain Movers ($11,616.80) for repairs on DD 139-73 (two blowouts on a 32-inch tile); Mountain Movers ($3,828.60) for DD 130 repairs; Patterson Excavating ($6,159.40) for DD 62, Section 6, Woolstock; and Pedersen Construction ($7,847.60) for DD 62, Section 36, Eagle Grove Township. The invoices totaled $51,649.08. Trustees voted to approve the invoices as presented.

Trustees also discussed a repair on DD 232 (a 24-inch main that in the field ties into an existing 30-inch reinforced concrete tile). Morris said she intends to obtain a price to replace about 216 feet of pipe from where lateral 7 intercepts to the ditch and noted past repairs in 2023 and 2024. Morris said the intake in the ditch was very large and that staff may recommend replacement with dual-wall plastic to reduce repeat calls for repairs.

All drainage trustees present voted to carry the motions reported in the minutes.","The county’s drainage trustees approved two work orders for tile repairs, accepted joint district assessments with neighboring counties and approved multiple drainage invoices totaling more than $51,000.",{"_33":97,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":98,"_41":99,"_43":100,"_45":101,"_46":102,"_48":103,"_50":104,"_52":105,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":106,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":107,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6534568,"Wright County adopts budget amendment increasing expenses $376,978",201,1116000,1317000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3553785-3ce44d75ee7fe2b39fdb06ccd2077935&start=1116&end=1317","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3553785-3ce44d75ee7fe2b39fdb06ccd2077935/thumbnail_1116000.jpg","/articles/6534568/Wright-County/Iowa/Wright-County-adopts-budget-amendment-increasing-expenses-376978","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534568-239f615cb8286205210bea69be35dbe8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442634&Signature=hec12pW387Z~djlwW~BSD5StpfdAji56QEG1HSwc1YttrKV8E6iz3oR~OjqPXrPM2sT2fq-Lg7FPyYBwt5trCVxJP8HCDLXm-nOaTsedzmy-waegiD7t2qkbqp6ZzCPlXLX19qfBIofI8ZuNACy6-OcfFNCmE4pcukWL~FlQYxXJOwTa0peSrRBX4ZwQZftDmJr5yKu~bC8f~9rSVxGAMe1CmNxvFiiPgp~Bwao~L~EGCQbSxux1c4qA6Ne8XrEIY3IG4-FVoVM6MWNUQzpAz7Q3xbLC-P8~~AfNtgDWWc-oNGKLgoSEReuw9KHd5lBVU6i4FhE8vxCikG3KOb0pzg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wright County Board of Supervisors on June 2 adopted Resolution 2025-20 to amend the county’s current fiscal-year 2024–25 budget, increasing total county expenditures by $376,978 and estimated revenues by $260,041.

Courtney Morris, branch administrator, presented the proposed amendment and a department-by-department breakdown of increases and decreases during a public hearing the board opened and then closed before voting. The amendment as presented lists the total expense increase as $376,978 and a revenue increase of $260,041, with line-item allocations to specific departments and funds included in the resolution.

The board opened a public hearing on the proposed amendment; no correspondence was submitted and no speakers provided testimony at the hearing. After brief discussion about where the additional revenue and expense lines were allocated, a supervisor moved to adopt Resolution 2025-20, budget amendment No. 2 to the 2024–25 budget. The motion carried on a unanimous vote.

The amendment will allow departments identified in the resolution to spend and receive the listed amounts; the resolution itemizes which funds and departments will receive increases and decreases. Morris said the amendment mirrors corresponding changes submitted for the secondary roads budget in order to keep county and road fund figures aligned.

The board recorded the resolution number as 2025-20. The amendment as approved increases total expenses by $376,978 and increases revenues by $260,041 as shown in the resolution materials submitted to the board. The board’s action authorizes the county auditor to adjust fund balances and accounting records consistent with the resolution.

The county did not specify any additional deadlines tied to the amendment; staff said expenditure and reimbursement timing for some projects (for example, construction and bridge reimbursement) will depend on project schedules and state reimbursements.","After a public hearing, the Wright County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 2025-20 to amend the current 2024–25 county budget, increasing total expenses by $376,978 and revenues by $260,041.","actionData","errors"]
