Mills County supervisors approve about $1.5M in BROS bridge funding, federal reimbursement expected
Summary
The board approved funding agreements for two county bridge replacements (215th Street and Painter Road), each estimated at $750,000, with county fronting costs to be reimbursed from state/federal programs.
The Mills County Board of Supervisors voted to approve funding agreements for two bridge replacements — the 215th Street crossing of an unnamed creek and a Painter Road bridge — each estimated at $750,000.
County staff (S2) said the projects will be paid initially from county accounts and then reimbursed with federal and state funds under the BROS/HBP arrangements. S2 said the agreements are intended to line up funding and that contractors are expected later in the year.
S3 moved to approve the funding agreement for the 215th Street bridge; S2 seconded and the motion carried. The board then approved a similar agreement for Painter Road, and members discussed scheduling to avoid consecutive closures on nearby road stretches.
The county described the arrangements as grant‑reimbursable work (not paid from the local tax levy), with construction windows discussed to reduce local traffic disruption.
