Hardin County approves five‑year DOT program and one‑year addendum for county engineer
Summary
The board approved the five‑year county program submitted to the Iowa DOT, including bridge and paving priorities, and approved a one‑year addendum to the county engineer’s contract to cover remaining months of the fiscal year at $7,500.
The Hardin County Board approved the county’s five‑year program for submission to the Iowa Department of Transportation and a one‑year addendum to the county engineer's employment agreement. County engineer Taylor summarized the five‑year plan, identifying one bridge per year, several paving projects (including D41 north of the training school and the T Avenue/Washington Avenue extension near Eldora), and noted environmental clearances and funding constraints could delay some projects. "We're doing a bridge every year with that money," Taylor said while outlining priorities and cost‑sharing with neighboring Grundy County on one project.
The board also approved an employment addendum to formalize the engineer’s role for the remainder of the fiscal year at $7,500 (to be paid from the secondary roads budget). The engineer and supervisors commented on the candidate’s early work and the need to align contract terms with project timelines. The five‑year program and the engineer contract addendum were moved, seconded and approved by the board.
