Worth County supervisors approve Founders Day road closure, Beaver Dam work order and canvass Central Springs election results
Summary
At a regular Worth County meeting, supervisors approved a Founders Day closure of Airport Road, a work order to clear a beaver dam on DD 2 (work order DD2187), a fireworks permit for Country View, routine claims and acknowledged the post-election audit after canvassing Central Springs election results.
Worth County supervisors approved several routine and event-related actions during a regular meeting, including a temporary road closure for Founders Day, a drainage work order to remove a beaver dam, a fireworks permit, and the formal canvass of recent school-district election results.
The board approved a request to close Airport Road for the Founders Day event. The motion was made and carried by voice vote. County staff handled logistics for the closure request and confirmed the item would proceed as planned.
Supervisors approved claims and a work order identified as DD2187 to address a beaver dam affecting drainage on a ditch described in the meeting as “on DD 2 north of Highway 105,” near structures associated with an Amish property. The board asked staff to confirm whether county crews or a contractor would perform the work once arrangements are finalized.
The board also approved a fireworks permit for Country View. That permit was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
County auditors presented an election summary for local measures. The board canvassed and certified results reported at the meeting, including the Central Springs public measure, which was reported in the meeting as totaling 297 votes (283 for, 14 against as read aloud at the meeting) and was declared to have passed. The meeting record also shows smaller measures for Mitchell and other local ballots noted at the meeting: one measure was read as 4 for, 12 against (28 total) and another as 19 for, 8 against (27 total). After the canvass, the board moved to acknowledge the post-election audit report; that motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
All of the motions recorded in the meeting were passed by voice vote; specific roll-call tallies were not provided in the transcript.
The meeting concluded after routine departmental reports and direction for staff follow-up on several items, including confirmation of contractors and posting of required public notices for later agenda items.
Ending: The board did not take new policy actions beyond the items listed above and adjourned after completing the posted business.
