The Kossuth County Board of Supervisors convened on September 30, 2025, to address several key issues concerning local infrastructure and road management. The meeting began with a motion to approve two requests from Iowa Lakes, which was unanimously passed following a brief discussion on right-of-way implications.

Subsequently, the board reviewed another request from Interstate Power and Light to install an overhead power pole. This installation was deemed to cause minimal disturbance to the road right-of-way, leading to a motion for approval that also passed without opposition.

The meeting continued with updates from the road department. Officials reported that the HMA construction project was nearing completion, with only traffic markings remaining. Additionally, the bridal construction work by Godwers and Smith was finished, and preparations for guardrail installation were underway, with completion expected within the week.

Further updates included the successful resurfacing of Western Hills and the initiation of centerline and edge line painting. The board discussed ongoing construction on Highway 18, noting that the sub-base work at Sexton was still pending, but hopes were high for the North-South Road to open soon. The completion of a railroad crossing near West Bend was also highlighted.

The road department announced an open position in Lakota, which would be advertised soon. Discussions also touched on insurance plans for a high deductible health plan and a comprehensive plan for Kossuth Waste Management.

In response to a public inquiry regarding the status of a project taking lines from Lone Rock to Sway City, it was confirmed that a contractor was scheduled to begin work that morning, although no specific timeline was provided.

The meeting concluded with a discussion about a request from Leroy Paseker concerning a culvert on a gravel road. The board acknowledged the complexity of the situation, particularly regarding flood management in the area, and noted that a bridge might be the only viable solution to prevent water backup.

Overall, the meeting addressed critical infrastructure developments and ongoing projects, with the board committed to enhancing road safety and efficiency in Kossuth County.
