Roads staff described two approaches: county crews could perform scarifying and apply the product themselves, or hire an outside contractor. Staff said the material appears to chemically react with clay particles in the soil to create a cement-like stabilization, and that Franklin County had used a similar process. “What they're promoting is some sort of chemical reaction with the clay particles,” one speaker said.

Supervisors suggested testing the product on a high-traffic segment such as Snake Road (southwest of Blake Mills, near the bowling alley) and watching performance. Staff said application requires dry conditions and a spray/tanker system and that the county could potentially retrofit existing tankers or build one in-house.

Board members noted the need to plan for the work in spring if chosen, because the project requires several days and equipment coordination. Staff suggested the trial could be done by county crews if prioritized.

Why it matters: a successful locally run stabilization program could lower long-term maintenance and dust-control costs on busy gravel routes; supervisors asked staff to scope a trial and estimate time and equipment needs.","Board members discussed the potential to test a chemical stabilization product—used by Franklin County—to reduce maintenance and dust on high-traffic gravel roads; staff proposed a trial section on Snake Road and reviewed equipment and application considerations.",{"_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},6474965,"Supervisors discuss repeated blowout in DD 68 near Buffalo Center; repair options considered",81,197000,278000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5737712-abbf71d7fc9810cc1f7dd47aba29ed2c&start=197&end=278","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5737712-abbf71d7fc9810cc1f7dd47aba29ed2c/thumbnail_197000.jpg","/articles/6474965/Winnebago-County/Iowa/Supervisors-discuss-repeated-blowout-in-DD-68-near-Buffalo-Center-repair-options-considered","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6474965-a3237c2209f13ea0aaad369fed1355f4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771018405&Signature=khXsuMVPe7kfDOx7eyWwZ4gdlXm7yIm-qgc1DGIdEmWJ3nurXPWK-Bgm6o~ZL1wR8-La14cs5PtPN4OrKEfITHUDm05NwR~bJ4-GGGe3qlzHjJF9N88VGqXUb9E3L2f6~eS4~GhZfsKnRLqBCj43yPOlEY9~yLNYDtphNmwqUKdC91RI4eVL2fHlvihw6v-49If6axsmj2L3RxmU7x8Bd7AzC4dbAawS89M10p8IvxfwUAkycHsJHzdewNO6WA5jB5-q9ud~TZKSMsHM8lnH4YC0UgMv09QGIshRo34DW62aveUnMlci5cU01OKeddV9Ml2ue1FKoi8Hy1VaRvNXPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Winnebago County Board of Supervisors discussed a recurring drainage blowout in a sandy low area of drainage district DD 68 near Buffalo Center, identified in the meeting as Lot 21 of DD 68.

A supervisor reported the site is “a great big old hole where it sucked all the dirt out” and that the area has failed multiple times in the past. The speaker said the pipe there may be 20 to 21 inches and noted past repairs that apparently failed. “It’s always been flowing,” the supervisor added, and said the hole is large enough that you can stand over it and watch water going into the pipe.

Supervisors and staff discussed whether a restriction under the railroad might be contributing to the pressure and whether replacement of at least 400–500 feet of pipe would be required in a long-term fix. The meeting included discussion about who owns the land (named as Doug Klucow) and whether a representative from the Iowa DNR or a drainage-district contact had been identified; staff said they would follow up with the state DNR representative who had taken over for TJ Herrick.

Board members noted prior maps showed varying pipe sizes in the area (18-, 20- and 36-inch shows on different maps) and said the history of repairs suggests a more substantial replacement may be needed rather than repeated spot repairs.

Why it matters: repeated failures in drainage districts can affect farmland, private drives and county infrastructure. Supervisors flagged the site for follow-up with DNR representatives and estimated scope of repair options during subsequent staff work.","Board members reviewed repeated blowouts in a sandy low area of drainage district DD 68 near Buffalo Center (Lot 21), discussed past repairs and possible full replacement of pipe, and queried DNR and drainage-district representatives about next steps.",{"_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},6474970,"County road crew: Paving of County 20 to begin; culvert repairs and airport work advancing",241,886000,1127000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5737712-abbf71d7fc9810cc1f7dd47aba29ed2c&start=886&end=1127","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5737712-abbf71d7fc9810cc1f7dd47aba29ed2c/thumbnail_886000.jpg","/articles/6474970/Winnebago-County/Iowa/County-road-crew-Paving-of-County-20-to-begin-culvert-repairs-and-airport-work-advancing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6474970-2e6c03d1d9ec63e5c29beaf9bb0f4b58/orig.mp4?Expires=1771018405&Signature=gtF5lMvpb0Go9BC6m4guZjsHmfSmimvVBCdBwHmV6ewuP43OzZ1GXsIT4r1UCnn2GuU6ZNpx228cTo4XH8piQY~JSAP30RxWodlUke8cyGji0nL0RFzaM0L14-IT3GGMP8XrPqW2JdfdIhA6u0vKZEToJQ-EJx~wUdTjIzXP8~-dp0xCKL~udp9taNZ06JOGrKp1RuaG5r8nXnug6UQQO5q-evUsLDok6TKyRpMQMuqth9ehQA8iBmX9zKmpFPqMq7unvVP~cc1XjX06vIkgvhhR-XX2ygmS-86VeYjiaYceU4brsFEJ-W59hJWeQ5Fg4GEQ2VK42C~MUu2hZB2O~g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Winnebago County roads staff told the Board of Supervisors that a paving crew will begin surface-lift paving on County Road 20 the morning after the meeting and that work is expected to take four to five days, one lane at a time with pilot cars.

“Tomorrow morning, first thing, they'll start from the north end at the Minnesota line and work their way south,” Scott said. He added the paving is a two-inch surface lift, followed by striping, rumble strip panels and shoulder work performed by county crews.

Staff also reported work at the Osmus airport site is nearing completion of dirt work: fill hauling is done, topsoil is being smoothed and remaining culvert extensions and replacements are being finished. “So far, they've been able to work around OSMIS operations really nicely,” Scott said.

Elsewhere, a culvert repair on County Road 838 near the Worth County line required pressure-injecting grout after crews found voids around the pipe. Scott described the repair technique in detail: drilling 10-foot holes, installing short steel pipes and pressure-injecting grout to create reinforced columns around the culvert joints.

Roads staff said they have increased routine culvert inspection ahead of paving projects after recent repairs surfaced while doing internal inspections. The board also discussed signage and traffic-control plans to minimize hazards during the paving operation.

Why it matters: the paving project will temporarily slow traffic on a county arterial; supervisors asked staff to ensure advance warning signs and flaggers to reduce incidents. County staff said delays are expected but traffic will be maintained with pilot cars.","Winnebago County roads staff told supervisors paving on County Road 20 will begin the next morning, followed by striping and shoulder work; separate culvert repairs and the Osmus airport dirt work are nearing completion.",{"_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},6474975,"Winnebago supervisors approve compromise settlement tied to Central Iowa juvenile detention dispute",1954,714000,2668000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5737712-abbf71d7fc9810cc1f7dd47aba29ed2c&start=714&end=2668","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5737712-abbf71d7fc9810cc1f7dd47aba29ed2c/thumbnail_714000.jpg","/articles/6474975/Winnebago-County/Iowa/Winnebago-supervisors-approve-compromise-settlement-tied-to-Central-Iowa-juvenile-detention-dispute","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6474975-64038806b5c6319c5c4b22aa849d174b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771018405&Signature=WI7-AOIKMKy1n9xCJ6Uiyy9Pqmsvhcpuuj27Z-bmyRBqKDm65XKUHFlCbBhNLzCIDlTdOQZPETwUNblGTM3rnJ0SRMrEIj783uNtdg5dxa2GJzhn~MCGpB4Gjs-cpg7~vWvhoq3C9mjmKZdaJkq1aUBjhM50xMNpGM97pvILXM1asyrOFxqDLpE8VTBRyErr6RGpoOZJcFQa8WbRucbHy11BEsD4yWZhrtaM~1ALVG3Uk1ydyFLdKU9Fa2P9njLJpmsM189qDlvnI1GH5IffEGtRn-k5VAj8idmCSG363XoL1Og37K0x5TplkU1NY4YAk8IKi2nPrlUPl2pkwZUIWg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Winnebago County Board of Supervisors on Friday voted to approve a resolution accepting a compromise settlement related to the Central Iowa Juvenile Detention Center dispute.

The vote followed a teleconference discussion with a caller identified as Gary Rayhan, who told supervisors the proposed settlement is the appropriate first step to resolve a larger intercounty dispute over 28E arrangements. “I would recommend approving,” Rayhan said during the call.

The compromise was described in the meeting as part of a larger process involving about 30 counties; supervisors were told five counties will follow a separate settlement path. Board members said the approval is an initial step that will allow the larger juvenile-detention board to move forward and address outstanding 28E documentation issues.

Supervisors discussed having a special meeting and consulting additional local contacts before finalizing details for related cooperative agreements. After the phone briefing and brief discussion on the record, Derby moved to approve the resolution; Genssel seconded. The board chair called for the ayes and recorded the motion as passed.

Why it matters: county officials said acceptance of the settlement is intended to restore the organization’s standing, permit completion of intergovernmental (28E) paperwork and allow the multi-county juvenile-detention authority to proceed with corrective steps.

The resolution approved by the board was described in the meeting as an acceptance of a compromise settlement with Hardin County tied to the Central Iowa Juvenile Detention Center matter. County officials noted the broader process will include additional follow-up actions and that five counties remain on a separate track. The board did not detail dollar amounts or release the settlement text during the public discussion.

The action recorded in the meeting was a formal roll-call-style motion on the record; deputies and staff confirmed the motion and second before the chair called for the aye vote.","Winnebago County supervisors voted unanimously to approve a resolution accepting a compromise settlement related to the Central Iowa Juvenile Detention Center dispute; the vote follows teleconferenced briefings and a recommendation to approve the compromise from a franchise contact familiar with the multi-county matter.","actionData","errors"]
