Supervisors approve utility right-of-way permits for Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative and authorize municipal utilities work for highway realignment
Summary
The board approved two right-of-way permit requests from Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative and one request from an outgoing municipal utility related to Highway 18 construction and utility realignment; motions carried unanimously.
Kossuth County supervisors approved several right-of-way permit requests on Feb. 27 to allow utility work in county road rights-of-way.
The county engineer recommended two permits from Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative for work in Ledyard and Ramsey townships: setting power poles in the existing west right-of-way of 150 Avenue near 440/450 Streets (Ledyard) and installation of cabinets and bore under 140 Avenue to service a farm building site. The engineer described both requests as standard maintenance and construction activities consistent with past approvals and recommended board approval.
A single motion (made and seconded) approved both Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative permits; the board voted "aye" with no dissent. The engineer also recommended approval of an outgoing municipal utilities request to realign utilities for the Highway 18 construction project (biodiesel-rd turning lanes), and the board approved that permit in a separate motion. Supervisors noted the realignment would involve some overhead-to-underground changes and associated utility relocations.
Ending: The board recorded unanimous votes to approve the two Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative permits and the outgoing municipal utilities work, and instructed staff to sign permit documents so crews can proceed with the planned utility relocation and installation work.
