Council approves 28E road-maintenance agreements with Grimes and Dallas County

The Urbandale City Council approved two intergovernmental agreements under the city’s agenda items related to Chapter 28E arrangements for the maintenance of roads and rights-of-way shared by Urbandale, Grimes and Dallas County.

City staff explained there were two separate agreements because of differing party participation—one agreement included Grimes as a party and one did not—reflecting which road segments each jurisdiction will maintain. Council approved the agreements by motion; staff said the separate instruments reflect specific maintenance responsibilities for different segments.

A related item—a first amendment and restated 28E agreement between Urbandale and Dallas County—was also approved, with councilmembers recorded as moving and seconding the motion and the measure passing. The staff presentation did not identify changes to funding amounts in the meeting discussion; it focused on clarifying the parties and responsibilities under the agreements.

Council action consisted of motions to approve council letters 82‑79 and 82‑80 (as recorded in the meeting packet) and the measures passed on the council floor.
