County conservation staff presented the request and said contractors confirmed availability to complete the one-mile project. Ryan (county finance staff) advised the board that unspent prior-year CIP funds can be reallocated but that doing so would require a reallocation hearing if the original borrowing documents did not specify the new use; he said roads are permitted uses for CIP but the county should add proper wording to any future borrowing documents if the FY26 borrowing is used.

Board discussion focused on multiple funding sources and household priorities. Staff reported available balances: approximately $90,800 in prior-year CIP funds that cannot be used without a reallocation hearing, and roughly $85,700 in the FY26 CIP balance. Board members said local-option (referred to in the meeting as “lost” funds) totaled about $228,000 projected by the end of FY26; several supervisors proposed using the bulk of those local-option funds for the road while reserving a cushion in other funds for possible emergencies and small facility repairs.

After debate about alternatives — including using gaming revenue, CIP, or a combination of funds — a motion was made to approve $298,232 for the road project with $85,700 coming from the FY26 CIP balance and the remainder to come from local option sales tax and related local funds. The board voted to approve the expenditure (motion recorded as approved). Supervisors discussed additional facility needs — an HR office update (~$30,000) and repairs at the Anthon courthouse — and directed staff to return with the detailed funding plan that will show how local option, gaming, and CIP balances will cover the approved amount and remaining county priorities.

Conservation staff said their contractor hoped to complete the project by the end of July. The board directed staff to schedule any required reallocation hearing for prior-year CIP funds if the county elects to use those funds; staff also were instructed to include the needed CIP wording if the county borrows in FY26 and intends to apply those proceeds to roads.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-07-08 Board of Supervisors Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved $298,232 for a one-mile road replacement at Little Sioux Park, directing $85,700 from FY26 CIP and the remainder from local option ('lost') and gaming funds after discussion of alternatives and required reallocation hearing for prior-year CIP funds.","taxTitle","taxId",3851,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":78,"_47":79,"_49":80,"_51":81,"_53":82,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":83,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":84,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6177240,"County receives bids for new rescue truck; one bid excluded as noncompliant",0,1160000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5341046-3dba65c985d3821f3336ab37f3e114fa&start=1160&end=1160","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5341046-3dba65c985d3821f3336ab37f3e114fa/thumbnail_1160000.jpg","/articles/6177240/Woodbury-County/Iowa/County-receives-bids-for-new-rescue-truck-one-bid-excluded-as-noncompliant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6177240-9c163ba11c664edf1b8775a0416efaff/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169567&Signature=Mer9JxjGn0BbeXoPgbTPBqFvhThqjX76sw5FdNVrAzqERj7YmaNx07daMF4hBeRghapeG1HpIuqPv7FG7EHHnj2Ag94zfrr2yfZhi1njtTgKIvAF0r63korKhrLMm0-TgtoOrL93yfp6CArBq4qnbp62TKWXaXonWXQp8GEY8hlxE5M1zkFlXZ9Hrjy2-sraS8yAYHJHG7HolDS9gfiUbdl8W4czYMx-~Yo5EM54GhUiKsQWGioR1PVEWCSKhFKxUOryUHL4cwctVnlLF0mGKR-zJ~MWXgMWSHRiRh-dRn74ZdLrGfChy2btRmEWDBW85IwtmGgBo9t~p93D6nieWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a Woodbury County meeting, county staff presented five vendor quotes for a new rescue truck and the board voted to receive the bids, with staff announcing one submission would be excluded for failing to comply with sealed-bid instructions.

Drew Bywood, Retirement Services Director, told supervisors he solicited sealed bids for a 2026 Ford F-250 crew cab built to county specification. Bywood read the five quotes aloud and said one vendor sent an emailed document instead of a sealed envelope as required; he recommended that emailed submission not be accepted as part of the procurement.

Bywood said the five vendors quoted these totals (as read to the board): Barry Motors — corrected total $60,980; Jensen Motors — $59,167; Citi Ford — $60,500; Stivers (quote labeled in the record) — $58,650; plus one vendor whose emailed submission did not follow the sealed-envelope rules and therefore was excluded from consideration. Bywood told the board he declined to accept emailed bids because the solicitation required sealed envelopes marked for the vehicle bid and delivered by mail or in person.

Board members agreed that bids that did not follow the published instructions should not be considered. Bittinger moved to receive the bids for the new rescue truck; Nelson seconded. The board voted to receive the bids; the motion carried unanimously (5–0). The board did not award the purchase at the meeting and Bywood said he would return next week with a final recommendation after verifying specifications and confirming each remaining bid matched the county’s spec.

The presentation included an operational justification for selecting a Ford product: Bywood said Ford was the only vendor that allowed removal of two-thirds of the rear seat to accommodate a cab insert that secures equipment and reduces the risk that loose equipment would injure occupants in a crash. He said the department previously purchased a cab insert and that the Ford option let the department keep the equipment secured in a single location.

Bywood also requested that the record be corrected: he said an earlier figure he read from Barry Motors had been misstated and should be amended to $60,980; the board accepted that correction. The board’s action at the meeting was to receive the bids for further review, not to award a contract.

The board directed staff to return with final verification of specs and a recommendation at the next meeting.","Woodbury County staff presented five vendor quotes for a 2026 Ford F-250 rescue truck and the board voted to receive the bids.
