The Carroll County Board of Supervisors took a series of formal votes March 24, approving plats, vendor payables, equipment purchases, roadway projects and a funding resolution for local nonprofits.
Votes and key outcomes
- Plats: The board approved four plats (owners listed in meeting): Robert Huffman (230 Fifth, Kitty Hawk), Dennis Kennebec (200 and 250th, Mahogany), Mary Sailor (requested by Matt Schwerin at 200 and 190th and Eagle) and a plat requested by David Schroeder for property owned by David Muir on Robin Avenue. The board approved the four plats in a single motion.
- Payables: The board approved payables with a revised total of $324,583.20 (originally presented as $289,858.10, with an additional Rhodes item added). The board approved the revised total by motion and voice vote.
- Resolution 2025-009, Fiscal Year 26 Nonprofit Funding: The board approved a resolution that lists 17 nonprofits for FY26 funding and clarifies which code and funding sources (property tax dollars or local option sales tax dollars) apply, as recommended by the county attorney. County staff said the resolution and an accompanying spreadsheet will be included in the budget materials. Roll call recorded affirmative votes from Supervisors Anderson, Hausman, Johnson, Meiners and McCray; the motion carried.
- Set public hearing for FY26 county budget: The board set a public hearing on the county budget for April 14 at 9:00 a.m.
- Property tax suspension (single property): The board approved a suspension for one property (the agenda identified "property tax suspension" for one property). The motion carried by voice vote; no further details were provided in the meeting transcript.
- Contract award, BRO-S-CO14172 (bridge replacement on 300th Street): The board awarded a contract for the tied bridge projects (including the bridge on 300th Street) to low bidder Progressive Structures LLC for $294,123. Supervisors approved the award by motion and voice vote. The board then approved Resolution 2025-008 authorizing the county engineer to execute the contract; roll call recorded affirmative votes from Anderson, Hausman, Johnson, Meiners and McCray.
- Motor grader purchase (2025 model): The board reviewed a vendor quote for a 2025 motor grader and approved a motion to purchase a motor grader after trade. The staff quote was cited in the meeting as $378,135 after trade on one slide, while the motion that passed referenced $370,135 after trade; the motion to approve carried by voice vote. (The transcript contains both figures; that discrepancy was not resolved on the record.)
- HMA maintenance resurfacing, 2.365 miles south of Dedham: The board approved a resurfacing maintenance quote for approximately 2.365 miles south of Dedham (N 38 to I-141/Audubon County line). The meeting recorded an estimated cost of $574,285.92 (the board discussed a possible $77,000 savings if county crews perform granular shoulders rather than the contractor). A motion to approve the maintenance project passed by voice vote; staff noted unit prices could vary based on field quantities.
- Apparent bid results (informational): The board reviewed apparent bid results for a Greene County'led bridge project on Apple Avenue (south of the railroad tracks) with a preliminary figure of $855,770.56; no board action was required.
- Petition to vacate: The board opened a public hearing and then approved a petition to vacate Survey Lot 1, Northwest Quarter of Northwest Quarter of Section 8'84'34 (property owned by the Wernemonts at the southeast corner of 170th and Noble). The public hearing was opened and closed with no public comments, and the board approved the vacation by motion and voice vote.
Several items included clarifications from staff. For the HMA maintenance project staff noted the unit prices and final contract amount could change depending on actual quantities placed in the field. For the motor grader purchase, staff noted trade values and model details; the transcript recorded two different final figures and the lower one was used in the motion that passed. For the nonprofit funding resolution, staff said they would attach the detailed spreadsheet to the budget materials used by auditors.
Motions that required roll call (two resolutions and one contract execution authorization) recorded affirmative votes from Supervisors Anderson, Hausman, Johnson, Meiners and McCray. Other approvals were made by motion and voice vote with no detailed roll-call tallies in the transcript.
