Summary
Worth County supervisors on March 23 approved a $188,319 purchase for above-ground fuel tanks and management equipment, set a May 4 completion hearing for Drainage District No. 14, approved $97,618.60 in claims and authorized repairs to the Welcome Center pumping station (one abstention).
WORTH COUNTY, Iowa — The Worth County Board of Supervisors met March 23 and approved a series of routine purchases, contracts and a drainage hearing date, the minutes show.
On a motion by Supervisor Mark Smeby, seconded by Supervisor A.J. Stone, the board accepted a bid from Dick's Petroleum Company to supply above-ground fuel tanks, equipment and a fuel management system for $188,319.91; the minutes note a second bid from Acterra Group for $225,150.00. County Engineer Rich Brumm presented the item to the board.
The supervisors also authorized moving forward with orders for new plow trucks as presented by Brumm, and they approved a utility permit application for ITCMW. The board set a completion hearing for Drainage District No. 14 for May 4 at 9:30 a.m. and approved a work order for Drainage District No. 13, L-3, submitted on behalf of tenant Brandon Diedrich and landowners Edward Bott and Donna Bott.
The board approved the claims register totaling $97,618.60 after the claims listing was read. The claims listing in the minutes names multiple vendors and line items; the auditor's office holds the full schedule for public review.
EMA Director Mark Tomlinson presented the annual review of the Worth County Safety Manual, which the board approved on a motion by Smeby, second by Stone.
Supervisors voted to approve repairs to the pumping station at the Welcome Center; the minutes record Ayes from Mark Smeby and Enos Loberg and an abstention from A.J. Stone. The board accepted a bid from Hovey Lawn and Garden LLC to mow the wastewater plant and water tower grounds for the 2026 season; Worth Solutions was listed as the second bidder. Bids are on file in the auditor’s office.
The meeting adjourned at 9:05 a.m. on a motion by Stone, second by Smeby. The minutes were signed by Auditor Jacki A. Backhaus and Chairperson Enos Loberg.
Votes at a glance: the minutes state that “all members voting ‘AYE’ unless noted.” For items where a roll-call distinction appears, the pumping station repair recorded Ayes — Smeby, Loberg; Abstain — Stone. Other motions in the minutes were recorded as carried with the standard all-aye notation.
