The trustees approved four work orders affecting DD36 (Lateral A and Sub 1), DD219 and DD10 for beaver-dam removal, broken tile, collapsed culvert and washouts. They approved invoices for public hearing mailings (Webster County Auditor $11.38; Wright County Monitor $71.26; Eagle Grove Eagle $82.24) and an invoice to Aaron Brothers Tiling for repairs in Range District 232 (approximately $920). The trustees set a public hearing on Sept. 8, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. to consider repairs needed to DD62 (open ditch).

Trustees also received a reclassification petition filed by a landowner (Marilyn/Marilyn Lerman referenced) for DD194 lateral 1b seeking to change benefit classifications. Because that lateral was reclassified in November 2021 (split into lateral 1a, 1b and 1c), trustees expressed concern that reopening classification may prompt similar petitions countywide. The trustees voted to receive the petition and table further action until they obtain guidance from the drainage attorney and the engineer who performed the 2021 project.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Wright County Iowa Board of Supervisors July 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","As drainage trustees, Wright County officials approved several work orders and invoices, set a public hearing to assess repairs to DD62, and received (and tabled) a petition to reclassify benefits for DD194 lateral 1b pending attorney and engineer review.","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},6491413,"Twin Rivers seismic testing prompts county discussion on road-use agreements, escrow and vibration testing",504,900000,1404000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5486753-ee426e1752cf4595bd42e0c13818bcbc&start=900&end=1404","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5486753-ee426e1752cf4595bd42e0c13818bcbc/thumbnail_900000.jpg","/articles/6491413/Wright-County/Iowa/Twin-Rivers-seismic-testing-prompts-county-discussion-on-road-use-agreements-escrow-and-vibration-testing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491413-4981a80c1309adc06757ba6b02f81694/orig.mp4?Expires=1775794240&Signature=QnpesIFZXY6fr30NFbVkIovH7r5cQr2pMyHDnluqawQPDQqvLVkeuL9LlSbcDVlBDNFaF8yYPt3Jhv8HXEgrXHqYzWdjKxFy05r~IVqm8YVbph4M3~ZMuAnioXlIsxDaGECP1mpBYDdi9x4k8hwLj4V3gTjUkTeKerGdeOBctm3mKYs9csKbv48tgyddOWPi7dGxIZDgKbfM~mea48FXPKgV9ehYN~tehTlKS92EOGOheT7vgREtKABZMUnT8hdLyW~5PTVJz3j4vcjfRvKaTeKagkMMTyIG5LYARxx5DHpqg8T8YEWh0KGxTQMy9o-NShiY9HhAUq~p3y3tCRVFeQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Supervisors on July 21 discussed ongoing seismic testing by Twin Rivers along state and gravel routes and considered possible amendments to road-use agreements to protect county infrastructure.

Board members said Twin Rivers crews have been conducting seismic testing on Highway 3 and adjacent gravel roads and that the company's insurance approach and damage mitigation raised concerns about recoverability. Supervisors discussed requiring an escrow account from the operator, but said the county had not yet determined an appropriate escrow amount. County staff reported outreach with neighboring counties and drainage engineers about methods to calculate monetary risk and the potential to require operators to pay for third-party engineering reviews.

The board also debated vibration impacts from heavy construction equipment. Staff described plans to conduct comparative tests with sensors, including potentially observing an asphalt roller and the company's vibratory compactor at a Hamilton County site to measure peak particle velocity (PPV) and other ground vibration metrics. Supervisors discussed possible numerical limits (examples mentioned included 0.5 PPV) and noted any amendment to the county's road-use agreement would be brought back to the board.

During the discussion, a supervisor also raised the county's interest in early-stage research on hydrogen transportation and a possible severance-tax credit; staff said they were still researching Department of Revenue guidance and whether counties currently receive such funds.","Wright County supervisors heard updates on seismic testing by Twin Rivers, discussed possible escrow requirements, vibration testing to protect drainage infrastructure, and broader energy topics including hydrogen transportation and severance-tax research.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6491418,"Wright County engineer reports storm damage, bridge delays and upcoming paving work",133,562000,695000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5486753-ee426e1752cf4595bd42e0c13818bcbc&start=562&end=695","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5486753-ee426e1752cf4595bd42e0c13818bcbc/thumbnail_562000.jpg","/articles/6491418/Wright-County/Iowa/Wright-County-engineer-reports-storm-damage-bridge-delays-and-upcoming-paving-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491418-4a91636330d221d592f0d602d7cbd449/orig.mp4?Expires=1775794240&Signature=dEsSzHhdfhovaqSCYzuqG5MfZufRd1bCNt2fJ4oWsEUzWc83xRntL~7W6Ah6bvQlNPfa4ac0mfj8R2nLUxrUZSOhRhYMY8i2cGY--0kA-Zf3bAawURVJe4eGsSdNIxbkgtJqUQLyzDdg8H1WXlU2FRpvYR51-7gb3u0FDhzw9XqczMTs~f9ih5z-TCKFAOFiQB7iUxcdftXJF84hmsS7fYWsouwoRwARrTjgPZE6lcMi-oeMlA0Sf3C~ER~gjhh1nGsnyu3HgI5MJOBYexGK9pzyllxd8O6C73i7WiLTUAf-s6zOwKeRK-cKIcWL8yd4fBxxe01l6HaaopOaZW8NDA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wright County Engineer Adam Clemens told the Board of Supervisors on July 21 that crews continued to respond to storm damage and FEMA routes, with bridge repairs delayed while water levels remain high.

Clemens reported crews have been checking routes with excessive water, hauling rock for FEMA routes, performing spot shouldering and stockpiling shoulder material in Belmont (about 247 tons) for east-side repairs. He said both bridges damaged by recent high water were still waiting for flows to recede before crews could access approaches; the delay likely pushes completion back roughly a month compared with earlier expectations.

Clemens said roughly 1,200 tons of riprap had been used, and the contractor will need to remove and reuse material in-stream as water levels drop. He also gave a construction update on paving: the milling for R33C84 (about 15 miles) was expected to start about Aug. 18, with paving to follow as hauling allows. The board also discussed shoulder treatments, including potential test sections using calcium chloride or stabilizers to extend the life of granular shoulders.","County engineer Adam Clemens updated supervisors on storm-related damage to bridges, riprap mobilization, shoulder work and an upcoming pavement milling project on R33C84 scheduled in August.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6491422,"Supervisors table resolution to designate voting representatives for Iowa State Association of Counties",168,131000,299000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5486753-ee426e1752cf4595bd42e0c13818bcbc&start=131&end=299","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5486753-ee426e1752cf4595bd42e0c13818bcbc/thumbnail_131000.jpg","/articles/6491422/Wright-County/Iowa/Supervisors-table-resolution-to-designate-voting-representatives-for-Iowa-State-Association-of-Counties","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6491422-f05a7b37848bad791fcd1b75318cdd67/orig.mp4?Expires=1775794240&Signature=XtsSrGgFxIGpJRzoBf0iApirOJY43cjOzMRWO6OpckITxheLsbrdum50mc4TpoORZwl1o0VEkxYLD9YppLpjyflpDpPVDlN~CCVUE6nXVs5WPmZPdurvj5QensVO55Wa4LyVsi1ZKcHP89zEAFCLXwER1yo5fACyCwkGZVQNcbDrgj7eVeaCYLbdnMlW0G0vCOHrpAe31-u2mQ3t4JM6YIi0y0bdL8ALHdpyGDJuNJZEjG~5pBQ0P-pj34z-kGqJ31Ug8oEQLcvHbd81928XNY25mlEIwdWOqDBti223JViDl0K~j4XkuwP9Mf2VD-zzd13IrQiplsvSo6sFFhretQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wright County Board of Supervisors tabled Resolution 2025-27 on July 21 to allow staff to confirm the county's recommended voting representatives to the Iowa State Association of Counties (ISAC).

County officials said the county had received related emails and mailings and had circulated information to counsel and the auditor. According to comments in the meeting, the county's national law firm recommended the board add the item to a supervisors meeting so the board could review and approve participation and then return the signed documents; the law firm also offered an electronic signing option.

The board did not provide a roll-call vote in the transcript; four supervisors were recorded as present earlier in the meeting.","The Wright County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a participation form for the national Purdue Pharma bankruptcy settlement and designated County Auditor Amanda Meyer to sign the documents.","actionData","errors"]
