Supervisors receive manure management filings and committee reports on local meetings and projects
Summary
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.
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.
