At the meeting Jerica Beecher, identified in the record with Wright County Emergency Management, said the shed would move trailers and equipment that are currently stored outdoors and exposed to weather. Beecher said the structure would be a steel-frame building with concrete floor and insulation, and described possible door configurations (one large overhead door, possibly two) and roughly 14–16-foot door openings to fit equipment.

Beecher told supervisors the emergency management office has budgeted funds and reported a current fund balance and rollover the office tracks; she said the county emergency management estimated the building cost at about $80,000–$85,000 and that she did not have a grant identified to supplement construction costs. Beecher said the city partners had agreed to participation and that the commission would determine final funding and whether to proceed.

Supervisor Ashley Bosch moved to approve the Emergency Management Commission building a 30-by-50 structure on county property at the tower location; the motion was seconded and passed with four ayes and one nay. The record did not identify individual votes by name; five supervisors were present.

The board discussion covered siting (just south of the tower), access around the tower, and the desire to move trailers and vehicles into secure storage to reduce wear and storage fees paid when equipment is impounded or stored elsewhere. Beecher said the building would allow secure storage of vehicles and trailers and free up other county or partner storage space.

No construction contract was awarded at the meeting. Beecher said the Emergency Management Commission will decide whether to proceed and how to handle funding; the county commissioners only approved use of county property for the building. The board did not direct a specific funding mechanism beyond remarks indicating the emergency management budget and rollover funds would be considered.

The vote was advisory to permit siting on county property; final procurement, contractor selection and construction timeline were left to the Emergency Management Commission and the county commission’s future budget decisions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Wright County Iowa Board of Supervisors September 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Wright County Board of Supervisors on a majority vote approved permitting the Emergency Management Commission to build a 30-by-50-foot steel storage building on county-owned land near the county radio tower.","taxTitle","Wright County, Iowa","taxId",47114,"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},6476421,"Supervisors accept annual urban renewal filing and appoint medical examiner investigator",217,1003000,1220000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5730551-9e5e409ec77a0b0ea8d608c821c923e5&start=1003&end=1220","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5730551-9e5e409ec77a0b0ea8d608c821c923e5/thumbnail_1003000.jpg","/articles/6476421/Wright-County/Iowa/Supervisors-accept-annual-urban-renewal-filing-and-appoint-medical-examiner-investigator","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476421-aa9e71ae50a30d13a7469d5623c08108/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147980&Signature=fTriFR04tYb~EDve0jCNPb-a5OMV9n6IKMnP95GxAtuQQxJ777p2UQhS6f~GW4PLvi4HCY7w2PHqPGRmxEIDsT7wsljUHqS0hG~i7B8ZhrKNv6E4gWu7Ld4UsQNOtqOy2LdjW0R9PivLCNVM4RU3RHCESrGtzqoeq~hAxQIl2jBFRJpsuz2h6147KOz6go1Xoxk1BkZAxa0FhDmL6byNRoek6~Lra3gnLCpUwfm0EsR9-CzTBPEihOnS0qUhNcGafmZCHwoFwS9-mjMIBOtqtKaHoZy6tlMvLB~gGSa-5BrFaV8WqweKuVhnq6ctH0-nW4jRvdHkEGwpyj2xOLSs2w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During routine business the Wright County Board of Supervisors received and approved the county’s annual urban renewal filing and approved an appointment in the medical examiner’s office.

The auditor presented the annual urban renewal report, which clerk staff described as a summary of tax increment financing (TIF) debt obligations, cash balances and receipts for urban renewal areas such as wind-turbine and agribusiness park TIF districts. The board voted to receive and approve the filing. The auditor and staff deferred additional discussion to an auditor briefing that supervisors scheduled for a later date to provide more detail.

In a separate short motion supervisors appointed Nora Haversdine (identified on the record as a medical examiner investigator candidate) to the medical examiner investigator role; the motion carried by voice vote.

The engineer reported crews replaced a failing box culvert on Ida Avenue and completed modified subbase and prep work on other local segments. He said a contractor working on a highway project toward Franklin County was slightly behind schedule; the county hoped to have hot-mix paving operations begin by midweek, weather permitting.

Supervisors asked about the Voss/Gory (spelled in the record as VOS Gory) bridge project. The engineer said bridge approaches were scheduled soon but that the bridge should not be opened until guardrail installation is complete; once guardrail work is scheduled and finished, the county will open the bridge to traffic. The engineer said seed and fertilizing could be done under traffic once guardrail is in place, but opening without guardrail was not recommended.

The engineer also discussed contractor compliance at a site where pours were delayed due to water control issues and said crews and subcontractors were working on measures to control infiltration to enable concrete pours. Supervisors asked the engineer to follow up on guardrail contractor scheduling.

No formal actions were taken in the presentation; supervisors accepted the engineer’s update and thanked staff.","Wright County engineer updated supervisors on secondary roads work: culvert replacement, patching and paving schedules, contractor delays on a paving project, and that guardrail installation will be required before reopening a recently reconstructed bridge.",{"_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},6476431,"Drainage trustees approve soliciting contractor quotes for repairs to Drainage District 62",266,2614000,2880000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5730551-9e5e409ec77a0b0ea8d608c821c923e5&start=2614&end=2880","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5730551-9e5e409ec77a0b0ea8d608c821c923e5/thumbnail_2614000.jpg","/articles/6476431/Wright-County/Iowa/Drainage-trustees-approve-soliciting-contractor-quotes-for-repairs-to-Drainage-District-62","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476431-96cf1a753f9748e96de81cd61a034d38/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147980&Signature=duf7WM5KL11IYfeyZmI9PXogZOn2xTgO-1HYyQgIxzKi2y8Df3je7xeFSQ-yKcLRjWFr2Mp1p2gXXHQvZWVdKaOjW1i1EfRtbe5dU9YhdLd~-RcLOEhvZ-41p2xRJKXIYOLAltQM3SPxRAmpPhVb1IaIjgIsSaaP0ptj9DJugeDnfpN7FZriN69esD1ggjOvaMztf7Sg3ihYLVlSJpL9DNL1F9yR9dpPzevjj0bKLy66A-hUMeHQrV6s7nDltDaOX1tVYsG3IxS321OKQOlMjxhDWIUlfSs2jjkaWI4016cnCb0SYoZn3h-tk7b6hYQct8fT52ka~L5lufSZQQPXlQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wright County Board of Supervisors, sitting as trustees for county drainage districts, held a public hearing on repairs needed in Drainage District 62 and unanimously approved a motion to prepare and issue a quote package to solicit local contractor estimates.

Courtney Morris, drainage administrator, and an engineer identified in the record as Lee (engineer) reviewed drone footage and a field inspection that identified roughly a dozen damaged or broken tile outlets, about half a dozen locations needing surface drains with anti-sieve collars, approximately 40 spots of bank erosion of varying size, five river-debris locations near the outlet and an old bridge structure recommended for removal. The engineer explained that unaddressed tile outlet damage and continued bank erosion will worsen and that soil loss downstream can follow if repairs are delayed.

Trustees heard questions about cost thresholds that trigger public hearing and engineer-report requirements under drainage code. The discussion characterized the project as in a middle cost range: high enough to require notices to landowners but not necessarily to require a full formal engineer’s report unless cost estimates exceed the statutory threshold for an engineer report or for formal public bid letting. Trustees discussed procurement options including getting multiple local quotes versus formal public bidding; they noted competitive-quote thresholds (the meeting record referenced a $153,000 quote threshold and $206,000 public bid threshold in county practice).

Supervisor Rick Rasmussen moved that county staff produce a draft quote template and send it to local contractors for estimates, with a view toward issuing work this fall if possible; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. Trustees asked that the quote materials include the drone footage, photos and an itemized list of observed problem locations and that bidders be told additional issues could arise in the field and be handled via change orders.

Morris said the district has about 24 landowners on the notice list; trustees discussed assessment classification (based on 40-acre parcels) and payment options for landowners if large assessments are necessary, noting the code allows spreading assessments over multiple years (10, 15 or 20 years were discussed). Trustees expressed concern for the financial condition of some local producers and emphasized allowing assessment repayment options. The trustees did not award contracts at the hearing; they directed staff to prepare solicitation materials and return with quotes for a future decision.

The board also received and discussed several drainage invoices and a single work order; trustees deferred final invoice approvals noted in the drainage minutes to routine processing.","Following a public hearing on damage and erosion in Drainage District 62, the Board of Supervisors acting as drainage trustees directed staff to prepare a quote package and solicit local contractor estimates for repairs; motion passed unanimously.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6476436,"Supervisors approve jail promotions and lieutenant personnel changes",72,180000,252000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5730551-9e5e409ec77a0b0ea8d608c821c923e5&start=180&end=252","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5730551-9e5e409ec77a0b0ea8d608c821c923e5/thumbnail_180000.jpg","/articles/6476436/Wright-County/Iowa/Supervisors-approve-jail-promotions-and-lieutenant-personnel-changes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476436-20223286c67a054168be0260d2059051/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147980&Signature=UNeiO1fHsJw5d8ix-WMwIzUfPSBUd32cXT7~7Q0aZuT2V2LlAdDj1EWeKUY-QsHK2d2ZZMvjnjk83SVkZyTEC2ZsHPxaEb~f7UMI~yI6k7JW9EnjYHxzYMkd1h6XKFnfWvb5OU~G~qwS70K1FH7L6pLb9iKILCX82oH4x6U0In1ASwJxDvjhyFr4~GVwKkxUfzLBCqbu8hIJj5bZRbNuMj~UJSDvGJHKK8AY25b4l7VkysIOc3iiXdxKCgYxWfAme~pFCr~mAcYi8kSgv67FfSJ995jnXmBN7Eo8BJLFUS6jjVZgYEVJkDLBBhr3RVHdowG3Btm~vJ0y-xbYg4gExg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wright County Board of Supervisors approved personnel changes affecting the county jail and sheriff’s office, including promotions and salary adjustments.

A speaker identified only as Jason presented two promotions for county jail staff: promotion of Sheila Bordeiro to jail administrator with a $2,000 annual raise, and promotion of Kristen (last name not specified in the record) to assistant jail administrator with a $2,000 raise. Jason said those raises could be accommodated within the existing budget and that the net payroll effect would be handled by reallocating the departing incumbent’s $2,000. The board approved the presented promotions and salary adjustments by motion and voice vote; the record shows the motion was seconded and carried with all ayes.

Jason also outlined changes in the sheriff’s office rank structure. He said an incumbent lieutenant, Adam (last name not given), elected to return to a deputy position. The board approved promotion of Tony (last name not given) to the lieutenant position and an associated change in shift supervision. That motion, covering both lieutenant and deputy status changes, was seconded and approved unanimously.

The meeting record includes a short county revenue report from the sheriff’s office for service mileage, permits and related fees (total reported as $3,024.81); supervisors moved to receive the report and approved it by voice vote.

No individual vote tallies or last names for several staff members were recorded in the minutes beyond the board’s unanimous voice approvals. The motions approved were administrative personnel actions; the board did not set additional policy directions at the meeting.","The Wright County Board approved promotions and salary adjustments for jail staff and accepted changes in the sheriff's lieutenant rank: two jail staff received $2,000 raises and promotions, and personnel changes in the sheriff's office were approved; motions passed unanimously.","actionData","errors"]
