The Wright County Board of Supervisors convened on September 29, 2025, to address several key issues impacting the community, including updates on local ordinances and committee appointments.
One of the significant decisions made during the meeting was the approval of a proposal from Simuri Quarry to update the Wright County code of ordinances. This update aligns with Iowa Code Chapter 331.302, which is essential for maintaining compliance and ensuring that local regulations reflect current standards. The motion received unanimous support, indicating a collective commitment to keeping the county's legal framework up to date.
In another important development, the board accepted the resignations of Ray Jean Chapman and Daryl Stephen Carlisle from the Wright County Trails Committee. Their departures open the door for new leadership, as the board swiftly appointed Caleb Britton from Belmont and Luke Stevens from Clarion to fill these vacancies. This move aims to invigorate the committee's efforts in enhancing and maintaining the county's trail systems, which are vital for community recreation and connectivity.
Additionally, the meeting featured updates from Wright County Engineer Adam Ott Evans regarding the secondary roads department, highlighting ongoing projects and future plans that are crucial for local infrastructure. Economic development was also on the agenda, with Supervisor Klooz reporting on the hiring committee's progress in interviewing candidates for the director position, a role that will play a pivotal part in fostering growth and opportunity within the county.
As the board continues to address these pressing matters, residents can expect ongoing improvements in local governance and community resources. The next steps will involve implementing the approved updates and ensuring that the new committee members are well-integrated into their roles, ultimately benefiting the entire Wright County community.
