Votes at a glance: Carroll County approvals on permits, bids, drains and a loan satisfaction

Carroll County supervisors recorded votes on a series of routine but actionable items during the meeting. Key outcomes:

• Minutes: The board approved the public hearing minutes and the regular meeting minutes after motions and seconds.

• Resolution 2026‑003: The board adopted a revision to the FY26 secondary roads five‑year program to move project A21 (a box culvert) into the current year (see separate coverage).

• Utility permit 2026‑9 (MidAmerican Energy): Supervisors approved a utility permit that allows MidAmerican Energy to replace transmission structures north from the Noble Avenue substation; staff said they will verify pole locations against county tile maps to avoid conflicts.

• Boiler replacement contract: The board approved the low bid from Carroll Control Systems ($50,200) for replacement of the shop’s in‑floor heating boiler; a second bid from Novi Plumbing was $58,150. Staff noted a possible MidAmerican/Alliant energy rebate and projected efficiency gains.

• Drainage projects: The board approved investigative work and repairs for three drainage projects: Drain 29 (Section 30, Glidden Township — investigation/preapproval), Drain 15 (camera inspection in Glidden to locate blockages) and Drain 66 (repair of repeated tile blowouts in Richland Section 23).

• Forgivable‑loan satisfaction: The chair was authorized to sign a satisfaction recording a $13,018 forgivable‑loan payoff (listed as the fifth such satisfaction to date).

• Plat approval: The board approved a plat for a recently sold farm on 290th Street (requested by Matt Schwerin for Mary Sailor).

All motions described above were moved, seconded and carried during the meeting as recorded in the transcript; staff will follow up on scheduling, tile‑location verification and any implementation steps.
