Courtney, identified in the meeting as county staff, told the board the report shows zeros for the reporting year because the urban renewal area is inactive, but she said Iowa rules require the county to file the annual report. Courtney said the urban renewal plan is a 20-year program and that the board still has “a few years on it,” but she did not specify the ordinance or exact start year during the meeting.

A supervisor moved to approve the report and a second was recorded; the chair called for the vote and members responded “aye.” No dissenting votes were recorded.

The board did not discuss new projects or appropriations tied to the urban renewal area at the Sept. 21 meeting.

Main Street Rapids representative Billy Mason said the program supported three new downtown businesses during the reporting year, including Fourth Avenue Coffee and Bites and a mobile creperie operated by Kate (identified in the presentation as Rosie’s Creperie and Sips). He said a retail boutique opened at 412 Main after its owner received a startup grant from the Carroll County Grove Partnership and Main Street Twin Rapids. Mason said the board awarded a $5,000 expansion grant to wellness business owners Corey and Kaylee Sanden to add services, and that the group worked with Farm Drill to secure a $100,000 challenge grant; Mason said Farm Drill expects to complete renovations in November and will hold a roofing event to mark the expansion.

Mason described several building-improvement and public-art efforts that Main Street Rapids funded or commissioned. Where storefronts had cinder-block infill or deteriorated paint, the group commissioned removable murals that can be taken down if future modifications restore windows, he said. The group also installed an interactive patriotic mural in the downtown veterans park. Mason said Main Street Rapids achieved Main Street Iowa accreditation during the year.

The Main Street program also awards a scholarship to graduating high-school seniors who volunteer with the program; Mason said scholarship eligibility requires at least 10 volunteer hours per school year. He told the board the program has recorded more than 16,600 volunteer hours since its inception in February 2019, which he calculated as nearly $500,000 in volunteer service.

Looking ahead, Mason said the organization’s major project for 2026 will be a streetscaping effort covering roughly three blocks of downtown. He said staff and property owners will need close coordination to reduce business disruptions during construction. Other accomplishments Mason highlighted included a new concession stand built by the Rapids Lions Club, resurfacing of a combined pickleball/tennis court, a well-received trail resurfacing project and a visit from the lieutenant governor as part of a Region 12 comprehensive-planning effort.

Bruce Pitzer, identified as a Main Street Rapids board member attending with Mason, joined for the presentation and responded to supervisors’ questions about business expansions and streetscape design choices.

Mason concluded by urging continued volunteer and local-business coordination as the community prepares for the streetscaping construction next year.","Representatives from Main Street Rapids told the Carroll County Board on Sept. 21 that the group aided several business openings, awarded grants and completed public-art projects between July 2024 and July 2025, and said a three-block downtown streetscaping project is planned for 2026.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":46,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":92,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6450025,"Supervisors receive manure management filings and committee reports on local meetings and projects",193,962000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5888093-10d40aba848c8612204a57a4e0ab5ded&start=769&end=962","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5888093-10d40aba848c8612204a57a4e0ab5ded/thumbnail_769000.jpg","/articles/6450025/Carroll-County/Iowa/Supervisors-receive-manure-management-filings-and-committee-reports-on-local-meetings-and-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6450025-c7d746713338fbd3e7edb83f74c9b607/orig.mp4?Expires=1770509482&Signature=KPvgrd3tXLoVPKLMU9PEE3Z~pvADiwmqTC2ForzBaCjTsKj6ilyQlcznxPDEocg4phHs1zgNKmbeuI1z-4SqHgR6JY-KFoXaLVMF8KR0RHDmFQZ7zzN6p7XOsoy7C22MQK8jFhVClWggglisGX04u8hxgwhZwi-1b0AWjVqti95kaX9-CZ8blBsyzSF~qgGLb2qdoECsA3Vq2ntKrnKXA1ycQrXvFDcbuAgsCy1ujh~0OJd7hV~5to~Y98gyHJpaRP0FwBJ8M6f1-zH1q4eqOdoL9ltQ8MpG3wFxiAzPujVMULaBp~1nVkxXOiNDuDa3deoizHLWuBMkGBnp3JAGHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carroll County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 21 received routine manure management filings and a series of committee reports and county updates.

Jesse Baum reported there were no changes to several manure-management sites: Section 4, Maple River Township (operator Jesse Baum); Section 10, Maple River Township (operator Kevin Baum); and Section 21, Wheatland Township (operators Don and Doug Gerken). A Shown West site in Section 34, Richland Township, was reported with a change in crop rotation or optimum yields.

Supervisors then heard committee reports and activity briefs. Board members reported attending the Carroll County cancer meeting at the Carroll Library, the Carroll County Grove Partnership (CCGP) launch and an appearance by the lieutenant governor during a Region 12 planning meeting, the Board of Adjustment meeting, the ISAC retreat events, and a Hub 712 pitch event that awarded several small grants. Upcoming items mentioned included a Manning Rotary economic-development meeting, a director recruitment meeting for the solid-waste commission, a Region 12 policy council meeting, and a Chamber Coffee session at DMACC.

Board members also discussed local road issues and railroad-crossing concerns. One supervisor said he had contacted Jeff Collin regarding creation of a policy for responding to railroad-crossing calls received by the county’s dispatch center; the supervisor said the county will follow up to determine an appropriate contact process for Union Pacific (UP) issues. Board members reported an inspection of box culverts, progress on the Templeton shed construction and local street-surface trials intended to reduce washouts and dust on unpaved roads.

A supervisor said the county’s opioid fund committee has three applicants this quarter and that the committee will review applications to determine eligibility before bringing any funding recommendations back to the full board.

No formal votes or regulatory changes were recorded on the manure filings or committee-report items at the Sept. 21 meeting.","At the Sept. 21 meeting the Carroll County Board recorded routine manure management updates for multiple township sites and heard committee reports covering recent county events, Region 12 planning, road and railroad concerns, and upcoming grant and funding reviews.","actionData","errors"]
