County staff said crews are working on a bridge on D Avenue, with concrete being poured south of Bowman, and that staff performed a survey on a bridge on W Avenue earlier in the week. \"They brought that in. I got all the points drawn up yesterday and the services made. And now, we're gonna size that bridge, see how big we will need to be,\" said Speaker 2, a county staff member.

Speaker 2 said crews have been doing ditching and dragging along roads where crops are present, and that material (described in the meeting as \"stock and bottle rock\") is being hauled to Millersburg. The office reported its annual report to the state was accepted.

Staff said the county is planning work on five or six bridges over the next two years and will begin budget preparations for the next year after completing initial project tasks. The office manager and a commissioner were noted to be at a conference during parts of the week; routine project coordination and follow-up were described as ongoing.

Comments about these items in the meeting were informational; no formal action or vote on a capital project or specific contract was recorded in the transcript excerpt.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Oct 3rd regular meeting","oneSentenceSummary","County staff reported progress on several bridge projects, ditching work and rock deliveries and said five to six bridges are planned for work over the next two years.","taxTitle","Iowa County, Iowa","taxId",73085,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6426308,"Iowa County staff discuss travel, vehicle use and mileage practice for conferences",133,1162000,1295000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5891351-f06579d3bf806a486d466e65391d329e&start=1162&end=1295","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5891351-f06579d3bf806a486d466e65391d329e/thumbnail_1162000.jpg","/articles/6426308/Iowa-County/Iowa/Iowa-County-staff-discuss-travel-vehicle-use-and-mileage-practice-for-conferences","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6426308-89f563a1b8da72514a31121cb457ade8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770749631&Signature=oTSweksPMH7flJmX-Y7r4fanBmcMTJ0QkdMMBy6pC8DNy9LwBplhIx94CVnnWm19InE8hhDAvOzcw-2GUnNA~mzzVs06JtI8LUANkPqB-SQBJVc9tMwgaI76wS-CfyVM2i8HttKZeUJTjukUVphsoIZKc0XfMGdw8xTQSafioD-IwjvzX~6X63p5u7PQVRjMeaHobXBx94FKg9CE6edDKcSY4CgL2TNPgy90~1ZzltnkFf~AeFHNFhF~u~qpz6aWBeKd9f8zK-AYOjIotiB8pJpYsfjWEkTSXqfC72ChL6fMae5jxRyDHWMhcmKHQtQctwo9g08fACzXaMK713yjiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County staff discussed how the county handbook applies to travel for conferences, including whether employees should use county vehicles when available and how mileage reimbursement should be handled if they choose to drive personal vehicles.

Speaker 2, a county staff member, said the handbook indicates that if a county vehicle is available for travel to a conference employees should take it. \"I think if a county vehicle is available to take the preferences to take it,\" Speaker 2 said. The staff member suggested using a signed slip to document when an employee voluntarily opts to use a personal vehicle rather than the county vehicle. Under that approach, the employee would acknowledge they were aware a county vehicle was available, that they opted to use their own vehicle, that they would not be reimbursed for gas, and that they accepted driving responsibility.

The discussion also included a note that limited mileage reimbursement could be paid to cover travel to and from a conference (one speaker referenced \"like a 100 miles to and a 100 miles back\") while travel beyond that for personal reasons would not be reimbursed. Speaker 2 stated the county would not accept responsibility for an accident in a personal vehicle when an employee had the option of taking a county vehicle.

No formal policy change or formal vote was recorded in the transcript excerpt. Staff said they wished to set a consistent precedent and would continue to manage travel arrangements accordingly.","County staff debated following the handbook's guidance that employees use county vehicles for conferences and discussed a voluntary waiver and mileage rules for employees who choose to drive personal vehicles.",{"_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},6426300,"Iowa County moves to adopt budget amendment after public hearing; no written comments recorded",33,2743000,2776000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5891351-f06579d3bf806a486d466e65391d329e&start=2743&end=2776","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5891351-f06579d3bf806a486d466e65391d329e/thumbnail_2743000.jpg","/articles/6426300/Iowa-County/Iowa/Iowa-County-moves-to-adopt-budget-amendment-after-public-hearing-no-written-comments-recorded","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6426300-7776eadcc135048828f81dc41302f333/orig.mp4?Expires=1770749631&Signature=XwraEcXtr-csW2c8hIPVThfpOucGuRbD29aJJxNwy6QdNSnVjydj8uVLxB95AeOtOeEYF6fh7OgpDoSttANfevxkyFQ7KOnSDJXJ8JAfRdHgpMmKtFrOv1z~NYPzjD53TJ3RwKGFNgR6qbt3j5OQ663izmsG2mQqKIJZppeDrbzo0xQ4OwLQa8uEJ57pAeMPVgJz4JNZd9O3JRPbaIRIihvJVCWS9wazM3IRBfy17IYXofCvxs5b4IYj0OvVLfdE9L~h-eRIUG8YQ7Io3eHxzEWu7zfFd-bk4qBrVpSKGb1LrF86m0q1ttz6~yPKxg5LhjnxpRDe91jbq7Y4NX0oIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During a public hearing on a budget amendment, Iowa County held the hearing, recorded that there were no written or public comments, and then moved to adopt the amendment.

The meeting record shows the board opened the public hearing and asked for written comments; none were presented. Speaker 1 stated, \"Any written comments? No. All comments? Comments from the public?\" and later the board moved to close the public hearing. A motion to pass the budget amendment was then made and seconded; the motion carried on a voice vote. The transcript records the vote as \"All in favor, say aye. Aye.\" but does not provide a roll-call or named vote tally.

The transcript excerpt did not include the text of the amendment or dollar amounts, and the mover and seconder were not named in the excerpt. The record in the excerpt therefore shows adoption of the amendment by voice vote, with no public testimony and no written comments noted.","After a public hearing with no written or oral public comments, the board moved to adopt a budget amendment; the motion passed by voice vote as recorded in the transcript excerpt.","actionData","errors"]
