The drainage attorney’s written opinion, read into the record, said the 2021 reclassification proceeded with an engineer’s report and the requisite public hearings and notices. The attorney concluded that the petitioner's arguments—principally that he does not benefit from portions of Lateral 1B upstream of his land—did not present a legal basis to reopen or overturn the prior proceedings and that it was too late to challenge the classification without evidence of procedural error.

Landowner testimony explained that his land drains to a different lateral (Lateral 1C) and he asserted he received no benefit from portions of Lateral 1B that the 2021 reclassification assigned to his property. County staff reviewed the 2021 benefit percentages: one parcel had 47.4% benefit for Lateral 1B, another 6.9%, and a small tract 0.2%; the board noted engineers consider factors such as proximity, soil type and slope when assigning percent benefit.

After discussion referencing the attorney’s opinion, a supervisor moved to deny the reclassification petition; the motion passed unanimously. Trustees told the petitioner the drainage attorney’s contact information could be provided for further questions, but the board indicated it would follow the attorney’s legal opinion.","After hearing from the drainage attorney and affected landowners, Wright County drainage trustees voted to deny a petition to reclassify Drainage District 194 Lateral 1B; trustees cited lack of a legal basis to overturn the 2021 reclassification.",{"_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},6467214,"Wright and Humboldt counties receive joint petition for Drainage District 162-7 and appoint Jacobson Westergaard as engineer",345,1443000,1788000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5809104-ce582de32a81e1187d8ea303b499b64c&start=1443&end=1788","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5809104-ce582de32a81e1187d8ea303b499b64c/thumbnail_1443000.jpg","/articles/6467214/Wright-County/Iowa/Wright-and-Humboldt-counties-receive-joint-petition-for-Drainage-District-162-7-and-appoint-Jacobson-Westergaard-as-engineer","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467214-4000af62bbf2edd92c063dcafe320362/orig.mp4?Expires=1771044031&Signature=Nl9kQlvKZE~p4KdZ4tEK3IS~HyUOkC2Y1nbieW04UuC5VmqwYhxdXI3BOYBsYuuif2gNPlPxw6EIlgfOR7~RMeLVF5gGknZKN0ErEnX8O1VMINYR2dLr3wTH9twGMGXHR3xOy9kidf2Zt5f4B1xvd5HqObSgkmjPmJBSURVSyTNW3Ig2DhUr8zeL7p37-yrhRzzrb3jYKbYRxKLYJNrh~9aSePopO10jOYWLw21eS5SMv6r7gze4zkzzcAVSIwbYomsfa86HkZTX3plVGTdgiyOixHEJv5Ub1lCrhNyFWv6kvW2mNN3P4YDAs5AR6D6s8OMMYfcTLdyAkyS6Izj~Dw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wright County trustees, joined by Humboldt County representatives via conference call, formally received a landowner improvement petition for Joint Drainage District 162-7 and appointed Jacobson Westergaard & Associates as the engineer for the improvement.

County staff said the district was established in 1916 and covers roughly 1,121 acres in total, with about 916 acres in Wright County and 205 acres in Humboldt County. The proposed new main would extend from the outlet to at least 130th Street or follow the full length of the existing main; trustees discussed replacing the current tile with a larger tile versus installing a parallel relief tile.

Bruce Reimers (Humboldt County) made a motion to accept the petition and to recommend Jacobson Westergaard & Associates as the engineering firm; both counties approved the single motion on a voice vote. Trustees recorded the petition receipt and firm appointment, and the joint meeting adjourned. Wright County staff said they requested Humboldt County’s information on Jacobson Westergaard earlier to coordinate engineering services.","Trustees from Wright and Humboldt counties received an improvement petition for Joint Drainage District 162-7, heard acreage and main length details, and appointed Jacobson Westergaard & Associates as the engineering firm to handle the matter.",{"_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},6467219,"Wright County joins national opioid settlement participation; auditor designated to sign",59,327000,386000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5809104-ce582de32a81e1187d8ea303b499b64c&start=327&end=386","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5809104-ce582de32a81e1187d8ea303b499b64c/thumbnail_327000.jpg","/articles/6467219/Wright-County/Iowa/Wright-County-joins-national-opioid-settlement-participation-auditor-designated-to-sign","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467219-72a150ce550bdc807baa457306d59890/orig.mp4?Expires=1771044031&Signature=Zj4wovobyTe8ErSkJ2rZcEtnJyLSzA3YCnhrxYVsGO4hq3fpmjLih8SY~SoqE5StPnbeuauetV43inIVi63-7zgj7oYPWJkz36jUgJUT0pc6gzgJfP0Jd4Io9t2PQrJf~Xo18rYdzdeoHn2Zc09JLVIvFws0Gqg-54WQKM40YerToDoOsFkyvy11hBv6kB8-Xhm06eZv5FAtSN1wiJ3RyjeTYtWfJ1XaDoUY4AVcCpnrjFZG6TPW8uNziLb-gYjZ67MJds3d62UFjVyjkHEdjfIXXJq0~cazJqlJ0-Zya2bwAehliRb1Ind4UhKoq0GTF6BUCuECQ4tu3mQkbcYyPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wright County Board of Supervisors voted to participate in a national opioid litigation settlement for secondary manufacturers and designated county Auditor Amanda Meyer to sign participation forms.

The board discussed reporting requirements and the permissible uses of settlement money, noting that Exhibit E in the settlement documents lists specific allowable uses.

The board agreed to a $5,000 contract: a $1,500 first payment at contract signing, $2,000 upon delivery of the first draft, and the remaining $1,500 upon project completion. Board members noted the Iowa Code requires codification every five years and that the county’s last substantive update was in 2018 but was not finalized then.

Supervisors asked whether the codification firm would work with county departments that maintain separate ordinances and whether ordinances added since 2018 would be included. County staff said they expected the firm to build on the 2018 draft and to add later ordinances; supervisors suggested workshops with departments that have existing ordinances to ensure accuracy.

The motion to contract with Simmer & Corey passed on a unanimous voice vote.","The Wright County Board of Supervisors approved a $5,000 contract with Simmer & Corey to codify the county code of ordinances, with scheduled payments tied to contract signing, a first draft, and project completion.","actionData","errors"]
