Calhoun County supervisors approve permit, security camera upgrades and routine reports
Summary
The Calhoun County Board of Supervisors approved Underground Permit 4‑2025, accepted a security camera quote for two annexes to be split across FY25 and FY26, approved drainage claims and quarterly reports, and granted a liquor license at its April 29 meeting in Rockwell City.
The Calhoun County Board of Supervisors met April 29 in Rockwell City and approved a series of routine administrative actions, including an underground utility permit, security camera upgrades at county annexes and multiple routine reports.
The board unanimously approved Underground Permit 4‑2025, requested by Calhoun County Electric Cooperative Association to install cable to a dwelling owned by Tony Sommerfeld in Calhoun Township, Section 25. "Motion by Jacobs seconded by Ridgely to approve Underground Permit 4‑2025" was recorded in the minutes and the motion carried with all voting "Aye."
IT Director Steven Heinlen presented competing quotes to upgrade security at Annex I and Annex II. The board approved the quote from Midwest Technology and directed that one‑half of the project cost be charged to the fiscal‑year 2025 budget and the other half to fiscal‑year 2026.
The board also approved the 2024 Annual Report for the Calhoun County Historical Commission and authorized the chair to sign the document. Drainage claims presented at the meeting were approved, and quarterly reports ending March 31, 2025 for the county auditor, recorder and sheriff were accepted. The board reviewed Assessor Joan Wagner's timesheet for March 1–31, 2025 as part of the reports package.
In other business, the board approved a liquor license for Al's Corner Oil Co., Sparky's One Stop, at 2325 Marshall Avenue in Rockwell City. All recorded motions in the minutes were carried by voice vote with "Ayes all." The meeting adjourned with the next regular meeting scheduled for May 6, 2025 at 9:00 a.m.
Why this matters: These approvals move forward standard county operations—public‑works permits, security improvements for county facilities, and routine financial and personnel reporting—affecting county budgeting and day‑to‑day services.
