The board acknowledged transfers dated Sept. 4: $17,947.89 (recorded as a transfer involving General Basic to Secondary Road) and $136,611.12 (recorded as a transfer involving \"Merle Basic\" to Secondary Road). The transfers were entered into the meeting record by the chair.

The secondary road foreman reported that crews returned to an eight-hour, five‑day workweek beginning the prior day and said staff were working on driveways, ditch cleaning and several other maintenance tasks. “Pretty much working on the roads. Guys are back into a 8 hour day, 5 days,” the foreman said.

Supervisors and staff discussed specific local concerns raised during the update: a culvert issue for a resident identified as Alan Kramer (the foreman said the location is on the department's work list); a dirt road south of Seneca that had received complaints; a downed or damaged sign near Titonka (described in the transcript as near \"1808300 and Fortieth Street\" and associated with resident Lexi Smith); and ditches that have filled in over time and need cleaning and rock checks.

The foreman said the department is scheduling ditch cleanouts, placing rock checks where needed and working through reported driveways and other work orders. The board also briefly discussed the possibility of vacating a road segment near Titonka if easements could be obtained from landowners in the middle of the route.

The acknowledgement of transfers and the foreman's updates were recorded in the public portion of the meeting; no formal vote on the transfers was taken during the public discussion other than placing the transfers on the meeting record.","Kossuth County supervisors acknowledged transfers into the Secondary Road fund totaling two transactions and heard a report from the secondary road foreman on ditch cleanouts, driveways and local road concerns.",{"_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},6474901,"Perry-based ag drainage firm presents services to Kossuth County supervisors",823,533000,1356000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5739051-d963da59af9aacdc6375b347fe25d516&start=533&end=1356","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5739051-d963da59af9aacdc6375b347fe25d516/thumbnail_533000.jpg","/articles/6474901/Kossuth-County/Iowa/Perry-based-ag-drainage-firm-presents-services-to-Kossuth-County-supervisors","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6474901-c38ca4a759ec3ec76b08c8c777ecd406/orig.mp4?Expires=1775480388&Signature=YSwhAEWouWyc0Mm7ClQA19LTYmks4XQtEhn5tHTEunhjD6jAIcqrC8op3tUeIF1bx4AiCyhgD3xtH602unh0pRrvG2YWLmB1Sg-SZ~wqXxuwtBoA3s44mMuH5~xyjamtGrK4f8MWoxUcCIXndoLf1KsOLIbkGlEy-F6gBhrHWVghf22AFnMq3gRkwHCCJSJCO-tI7uZHy1ttB9tu6TMT7ffthLu41edbvNVP4bDTh5vVaUIigTlLglDbNrvRcCeDNrd9oENLG~cbW5sqPFx77x7BERNQuinTfl9CZntCL9X4vpVrURFgkc2fcyfg1Oi-uplqEyhbZKLAWZUtt6e3cA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representatives of Agrvia, an agricultural drainage engineering firm based in Perry, Iowa, described their services and recent projects to the Kossuth County Board of Supervisors during the board's regular meeting.

Agrvia co-founders Jacob Hagen and Tyler Beeman told supervisors the firm provides end-to-end services for agricultural drainage work — surveying, design, drafting and construction observation — and emphasized frequent communication with landowners. “We're the ones who survey it. We're the ones who draft it, design it, do the structure observation,” Hagen said.

The presenters said Agrvia started in April and focuses exclusively on agricultural drainage rather than municipal work. Beeman described a current project under design they expect could be roughly a $1,500,000 tile improvement in Greene County, and said the firm has worked on voluntary organization projects, reclassifications and ditch cleanouts across several Iowa counties, including Worth, Hamilton, Dallas and Palo Alto.

Agrvia answered supervisors' technical questions about on-site inspection and supervision. When asked whether the firm would be present frequently during construction, the presenters said inspection frequency depends on the contractor and the materials used: “If you're in plastic, you're gonna be there more often than concrete,” Beeman said. They said they have a part-time tile contractor committed to inspection work and a local surveyor available for professional land surveying when required.

The presenters said they bill for drive time but not mileage and that their rate is intended to be competitive. They also said they will decline FEMA work. “Like FEMA, we won't — we're not interested in any FEMA work,” Hagen said.

Supervisors and staff asked about the company's capacity and plans for growth. Hagen and Beeman said they intend to remain a smaller, low-overhead operation and to add part-time inspectors as needed rather than scale quickly. “We don't wanna be the world's biggest company,” Beeman said, noting the firm prefers to maintain close oversight of projects to protect quality.

The presenters offered to share a completed tile improvement report from Greene County as an example deliverable and to provide a rate sheet and references for supervisors to review. The board thanked the presenters and acknowledged their availability for county drainage projects going forward.","Representatives of Agrvia, an ag drainage engineering firm based in Perry, described their services, project experience and approach to landowner communication during a presentation to the Kossuth County Board of Supervisors.","actionData","errors"]
