Worth County supervisors voted to enter a federal-aid agreement for a bridge project between Brush and Olmets Bridge and approved several routine financial and personnel items during their meeting.
Speaker 2 described the federal-aid agreement (referred to in the meeting as ERS‑C‑098/88/98) as an "8 j project," meaning secondary roads will make payments up front and seek reimbursement from the Iowa Department of Transportation. He said the estimated eligible cost for the project is $450,000. "Estimated eligible cost is $450,000, and we'll see what it gets," Speaker 2 said. Speaker 1 moved to enter the agreement and Speaker 2 seconded; the motion carried on a voice vote.
The board approved claims and payroll items after a motion by Speaker 1. The meeting recorded multiple "aye" responses and a carried motion to approve claims.
Two county resolutions were presented and adopted. Speaker 1 introduced Resolution 2025‑46 to transfer interest proceeds into the debt service fund related to a recent loan; after a motion and second, the board approved the resolution. Speaker 1 then presented Resolution 2025‑47 to abolish the current compensation award/board; the motion to adopt was seconded and the resolution passed.
The supervisors also approved sheriff's office payroll changes after a motion and second. Personnel names were discussed in the payroll context during the meeting.
Other business included an update that temporary power is now at the administrative building site and that contractors will need to complete a concrete pour on the center-core roof before framing proceeds. Speaker 4 (Melissa) said she will attend a HomeBase Iowa city council meeting and a rural housing readiness orientation in Lake Mills.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that carried by voice vote. No formal roll-call tallies with full member names were recorded in the transcript for the votes mentioned; outcomes above reflect motions and voice votes as recorded in the meeting transcript.
