The Worth County Board of Supervisors meeting on September 22, 2025, focused on several key issues, including ongoing construction projects, change orders for the conservation building, and discussions about moisture management in county buildings.

The meeting began with the approval of the agenda and minutes. Supervisors discussed the status of various construction projects, including the center line painting and edge line work, which had faced delays. The board expressed hope that these tasks would be completed soon.

A significant topic was the conservation building project, where supervisors addressed the need for change orders due to unexpected groundwater issues encountered during excavation. The estimated cost for these changes is between $7,000 and $8,000. The board debated how to handle future change orders, with a consensus leaning towards allowing project managers to proceed with necessary adjustments to avoid delays.

Additionally, representatives from a moisture management company presented their technology aimed at addressing dampness in county buildings, particularly the courthouse. They emphasized the importance of preventing moisture-related damage to historical documents and structures. The proposed system would cost approximately $24,000 for the entire courthouse, with a focus on ensuring long-term protection against moisture.

The meeting concluded with discussions on workforce development and the county's position within its region, highlighting the importance of maintaining local control amidst external pressures. The board plans to revisit the moisture management proposal in their next meeting, aiming to finalize decisions on the conservation building and moisture control systems.
