Key votes and outcomes:

- Approved the meeting agenda and minutes from the June 2 meeting by voice vote.

- Approved claims presented at the meeting (amounts discussed during the meeting were not consistently recorded in the transcript).

- Approved right-of-way work requested by landowner Mike Jacobson to repair an intake just inside the county right of way while his backhoe is in the area; the landowner will be responsible for locates, any damages and returning the right of way to pre-disturbance condition.

- Authorized the chairman to sign an engagement letter and hired T.P. Anderson for auditing services for the coming year; the board approved the engagement by motion and voice vote.

- Accepted and placed on file annual manure management plan short-form updates for Avery Farms LLP (60567), Addison Finisher Farm (65370) and Garrison Ridge LLC (no county number specified in transcript); the board approved the updates by motion.

Where the transcript recorded only voice votes, the board recorded the motions as carrying. The transcript does not include roll-call vote tallies for these items; specific dollar amounts for claims were discussed verbally and were unclear in the record.

County staff presented two options: a solid vinyl privacy fence and a chain-link fence filled with PVC slats. The solid vinyl option was quoted at roughly $20,000 installed; an eight-foot chain link option was quoted higher, and a seven-foot chain link option quoted slightly less. Staff identified Midwest Fencing Gate as the proposed vendor and said the gate would be an aluminum sliding cantilever rather than a solid vinyl gate.

A supervisor asked whether the fence would interfere with road visibility or increase snow drifting. Staff said the new fence line would be located roughly 15 feet farther from the road than the previous fence and would not create visibility issues at nearby intersections. Another supervisor asked whether the cost would come from the secondary roads budget; staff said they expected to fund it from secondary roads, though they would accept help from other departments.

A motion to proceed with the seven-foot solid vinyl fence (white vinyl) passed by voice vote. Staff said the vendor estimated about four days to install the fence but was currently three weeks out, so the work would likely occur in the next fiscal year once scheduled and budgeted.

Staff also noted the fence would replace aging cattle gates and help secure county property and equipment stored at the Dakota City site.","Supervisors authorized installation of a seven-foot solid vinyl fence with an aluminum cantilever sliding gate at the Dakota City shop; installed price quoted around $20,000 and is expected to be scheduled in the next fiscal year due to vendor lead time.",{"_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},6655655,"Humboldt County accepts preliminary engineering report for Drainage District 11 Sub 1, sets July public hearing",834,1664000,2498000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5382512-69acfe5e15e111d4432dc06f988c6db9&start=1664&end=2498","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5382512-69acfe5e15e111d4432dc06f988c6db9/thumbnail_1664000.jpg","/articles/6655655/Humboldt-County/Iowa/Humboldt-County-accepts-preliminary-engineering-report-for-Drainage-District-11-Sub-1-sets-July-public-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6655655-b4da4ccdaf71162afe7a20daa4b5fec0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770662292&Signature=eQO3nbsh9ocXKidcPqRAKAaIWFzUb~eXK-HbQZ-YUuzvh3w6CzFa0j0cD5XRiusRTEUwaGpo4LVO9r6FZ7vsQVFMpLUlI7M9EgzDAYrxdfFkRJHMXIAtaRo75ADLhfFLyw~D9vweYO98N7J9LSHeUQSZY-ttDYHpWf8GpG1iXYfZiUXX5PAFY8IDzQxXWG0xAhFqwP32w~fNMN3Qx9PWW5ZnhhDAvgIabmOW4Oxn9bq84k9QmwT2WVQvZBDYLz33D7qUHXOMGkXdLBNM5OAoMklVW5PTgWq1EgWU-LWAnX1Oq1OUPwD1M02HoTFUN~qB9WSdnLM858~tb6efEWJG5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Humboldt County supervisors voted to accept a preliminary engineering report for Drainage District 11 Sub 1 and set a public hearing for 9 a.m. on July 21 to consider the project.

Colin, an engineer from Jacobson Westegard, told the board the project focuses on an original clay main tile installed more than a century ago and located roughly 5.5 miles east of Bradgate. The clay tile is shallow and in poor condition in portions — particularly in the northwest quarter of Section 8 near County Road C-26 — and requires frequent repairs, he said.

\"There's an original main tile that was put in, you know, over a 100 years ago, and it's a clay tile...and it's in pretty poor condition,\" Colin said.

The report proposes replacing the old clay tile with new pipe laid deeper in the profile; a relief main installed in 1948 runs deeper and will remain. The preliminary estimate for the district share of the replacement work is $776,000. Colin told supervisors that designing to a larger drainage coefficient — roughly a one-inch event instead of the half-inch baseline — would add about $164,000 to the estimate, bringing the total to about $940,000.

Landowner and petitioner Mark Fair of Archer Farms is seeking the work in part because he plans pattern tiling his fields this year and prefers the work completed before harvest, the engineer said.

Board members discussed strategies for abandoning or disabling the old clay main. One supervisor recommended cutting and crushing the old tile in several locations to render it inoperable rather than excavating and removing every foot.

The board moved and seconded a motion to accept the engineer's report and to schedule a public hearing; both motions passed by voice vote. County staff will publish the hearing notice as required.

At the hearing, supervisors said they will address the project scope (whether to remove or disable the old tile), connections of existing private laterals, and any additional work downstream that landowners request. The engineering report includes maps, photos of a deteriorated headwall and an estimate for replacing a problematic bulkhead area and associated structures.","Supervisors accepted a preliminary engineering report recommending replacement of century-old clay main tile in Drainage District 11 Sub 1, estimated at $776,000, and scheduled a public hearing for July 21 at 9 a.m.; expanding capacity to a 1-inch drainage coefficient would raise the estimate by about $164,000 to $940,000.",{"_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},6655659,"Humboldt County approves Safe Streets grant application with Kimley & Horn",292,707000,999000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5382512-69acfe5e15e111d4432dc06f988c6db9&start=707&end=999","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5382512-69acfe5e15e111d4432dc06f988c6db9/thumbnail_707000.jpg","/articles/6655659/Humboldt-County/Iowa/Humboldt-County-approves-Safe-Streets-grant-application-with-Kimley-Horn","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6655659-b07491e536fcde035877642c980c57e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770662292&Signature=UQOEU9V-omVuNfGeFD-nJSNbzoHVwfknhMNQ4vY1m079FeY3dAY9FHU6cG3GuneUjBLOdbA0AnavyFAMsK6JsZq5hRFqcTVP~kNGMsX5Pdsy9uPhcz2SpOkY9xb4ma~vl7DNDUkdEpHbETRMBd1qgZxgwbC8ZhWuN23j8Rpo7ciQiMDyOHiOBchN71QdNgf3r~NULhYXhcydx3RNc419HFk72pfkL-kmf4sIUzRsgS9PiVB0cTXLlheDYoGVGefvJ4iu3InsZcIrUBk4wW~W6tH-tUR~Yn74ZD1GE7Kt21DYxc18cD7onJeVRVfPjZt3vTTNuM7k0Z~5JVaBNCAadQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Humboldt County supervisors voted to authorize an agreement with consultant Kimley & Horn to prepare a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant application that would include a roughly one-mile safety upgrade on Nevada Avenue.

County staff said the application would request funding to widen shoulders by about 2 feet, add a safety edge and rumble strips, and install other safety treatments on three locations: a segment of Nevada Avenue from Volberding Hill north to Highway 3, the intersection of Thor Blacktop and Eagle Blacktop, and several curves on County K.

If the application is successful, the county would be responsible for a 20% local match. County staff and supervisors noted the application deadline required a quick turnaround and that other neighboring counties were preparing their own applications as part of a multi-county effort.

“...we'd be on the hook for 20% of the cost,” one county staff member said during the presentation.

Supervisors moved and seconded a motion to accept the agreement with Kimley & Horn and submit the SS4A application; the motion passed by voice vote.

The county did not provide an overall project cost estimate during the presentation, and staff said the grant program’s selection timeline was not known at the meeting. If awarded, the county will follow its standard procurement process for hiring contractors and would amend the five-year program or budget as needed.

The board did not identify a precise award date or funding amount at the meeting; staff said those details would be confirmed by the grant program if Humboldt County's application is selected.","The board approved an agreement to submit a Safe Streets and Roads for All application led by consultant Kimley & Horn to widen a stretch of Nevada Avenue and add safety features; the county would be responsible for a 20% match if awarded.","actionData","errors"]
