The renewal summary showed a modest drop in the overall premium compared with the expiring premium (a reduction of roughly $3,664). The presenter highlighted a long-term decline in workers' compensation costs: five years ago the workers' comp premium was about $96,000; the renewal for the coming year places the workers' compensation premium at $32,346. The presentation credited the county\u0000s safety committee and regular safety practices for driving the reduction.

The packet supplied to the board listed a blanket property value for insured county buildings in the mid-$24 million range and scheduled limits for equipment and communications assets. The county carries an underlying general-liability policy with $2 million per-occurrence coverage and a $6 million excess policy that provides a combined $8 million limit.

The broker noted a 1% wind/hail deductible applies to some buildings under the market terms; the board can choose to buy down that deductible on select structures at additional premium costs. Staff also recommended the board consider increasing cyber liability coverage: the current policy includes $250,000 of cyber coverage with an option quoted to raise the limit to $1,000,000 for an additional $2,672. The broker said the $250,000 limit contains sublimits and the $1 million option is common among neighboring counties.

No formal county action to change coverage limits was recorded in the meeting transcript; board members asked questions about cyber limits and asked staff to bring additional options back for consideration at a future meeting.

Why it matters: insurance coverage levels and premiums affect county financial exposure, recovery ability after claims, and operating budgets. Cyber incidents, in particular, carry notification and remediation costs beyond first-party recovery and can trigger legal and public-notice obligations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Humboldt County Iowa Board of Supervisors Meeting 2025 06-30","oneSentenceSummary","County insurance broker presented the annual renewal: overall renewal premium fell slightly relative to the expiring premium; workers' compensation premium dropped substantially to about $32,346; staff offered a cyber coverage increase to $1 million for an additional $2,672.","taxTitle","Humboldt County, Iowa","taxId",73084,"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},6510434,"Board accepts amendment to Drainage District D11 Sub 1; project cost to rise",92,1698000,1790000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5382510-5f6a0d13d0800506b9673821669b726a&start=1698&end=1790","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5382510-5f6a0d13d0800506b9673821669b726a/thumbnail_1698000.jpg","/articles/6510434/Humboldt-County/Iowa/Board-accepts-amendment-to-Drainage-District-D11-Sub-1-project-cost-to-rise","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510434-ff4a5fcb1ef45a6f9ef2533172b737b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770688420&Signature=GkWfqJLvRUwOZzHj-MgfDJywt5ayGA1LJOkoRCBafGBFHGWpzyDXIJd8n-piOJ4XF9VTl6L4R-Djjo4ByahbD3RYTG2RP1mWAE1hhwrNI2cZQFZUa7iecMaADhYkrYZiyU7OHHSRtu62m9z2sGlhRE0tVzkk9V90KeCiDdMTjNRjcKT~sVf~S5vjIcb9LP3y3TcGV9-MGY0OmUFK6Vv3sAvCgIwOu8aBqelpAuc0S5Yqgw19jEjD1AOYajsQHg-G~ysyKfl4Qp-MJiFuFIg-8JWoXpQQgyu~3hrSmf2iQAuFpZEc9Ui5YvUbYa6PWFHCF2IB8DU7GBWc5xJDE5umzA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to the Drainage District D11 Sub 1 report at a recent meeting (date not specified), adopting changes to the planned installation of a new drainage main.

Under the amendment, the northern portion of the project will not follow the old main route and the county will upsize the new main from 18 inches to 24 inches in places with higher flow. The presenter said the amendment increases the project\u0000s estimated cost by about $1,122,000.

The amendment also noted the engineers will not annex certain lands into the benefited area because they would not drain to the new improvements; the transcript references 10.3 acres discussed in the report. Landowners were encouraged to provide any boundary information or corrections to ensure the benefited-area maps are complete.

The board motioned to accept and approve the amendment and carried the motion by voice vote; no opposition was recorded in the meeting transcript. Staff indicated the record will remain available for review prior to the hearing date identified in the drainage process.

Why it matters: amendments to drainage district reports determine construction scope, benefited-area boundaries and cost apportionment for landowners within the drainage district. Upsizing piping and route changes can materially affect project cost and which landowners are assessed.","Supervisors accepted an amendment to the D11 Sub 1 drainage report that will change how an old main is handled, upsizes part of the new main from 18 to 24 inches and increases the estimated project cost by $1,122,000.",{"_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},6510439,"Supervisors approve Class C retail alcohol license for Humboldt County Dragway",48,128000,176000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5382510-5f6a0d13d0800506b9673821669b726a&start=128&end=176","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5382510-5f6a0d13d0800506b9673821669b726a/thumbnail_128000.jpg","/articles/6510439/Humboldt-County/Iowa/Supervisors-approve-Class-C-retail-alcohol-license-for-Humboldt-County-Dragway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510439-33486ca0cb3d95c1ca7659a9571beb06/orig.mp4?Expires=1770688420&Signature=PBFh8ljYPA7gvI~jo0GwcSxlPR6gDwct2Jk8ujjf58SIfZJU4CkV8Tj~mNGdTmtro-swb53lfJV49lwYCRpHvQzWq6px2KjAdIpt7Igw7em2iF8jEsaB1YJTUcHFuvNP7x7D-GPMBVKVpKRphHouZuY3NT5iJE1LKuYaRcQ2VMDxkLpo62Q39wimPaUU7Zo5E0Im2PfVmj3YFpMYS0OSLHQbR44OEqd7xu4v6upwHltA3vwksZqE28cBwptautQwkm1AyPGD6vAlYgPD0QCjaiYaM0tbb3A85afmX7sLFuhNNYQRoabmE72oLGluYg8UGtncwtxSTjKR5zxugCX3yQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors approved a Class C retail alcohol license to allow outdoor alcohol service at the Humboldt County Dragway during its regular meeting (date not specified).

The license application was presented to the board; a supervisor moved and another seconded the motion to approve the license. The board approved the motion by voice vote; no opposition was recorded in the transcript.

Why it matters: the license authorizes the dragway to sell alcoholic beverages under a Class C retail designation with outdoor service as described in the application on file with county staff. The motion recorded approval and the board proceeded to subsequent business.

The transcript included discussion about timing of the application and that the application materials arrived in time for consideration.

The board approved Resolution 2025-06-23.1 to transfer $895,601 from the rural service basic fund to the secondary roads fund and Resolution 2025-06-23.2 to transfer $300,000 from the county\u0000s local option sales tax (LOST) fund to the secondary roads fund.

The transfers were presented to the board as follow-ups to actions discussed at the prior meeting; county staff said the items required formal resolution language for record-keeping. Supervisors moved and seconded the motions and the board carried both resolutions by voice vote; no opposition was recorded in the meeting transcript.

Why it matters: the transfers allocate additional operating dollars to the county\u0000s secondary roads program, the department responsible for maintenance and repairs on non-primary roadways.

The board recorded the resolutions by number and confirmed the motions carried. Supervisors also completed a roll-call confirmation after the votes. The meeting proceeded to committee reports and other agenda items after the transfers were adopted.

No specific projects were tied to either resolution in the discussion on the record; staff did not identify line-item work or contractor awards that would be financed by these transfers during the portion of the meeting captured in the transcript.","The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors approved two resolutions moving $895,601 from the rural service basic fund and $300,000 from the LOST fund into the county secondary roads fund to support road work.","actionData","errors"]
