Cerro Gordo County supervisors approve routine actions, set FY2026–27 budget hearing
Summary
The Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors on March 30, 2026, unanimously approved a package of routine administrative measures — including authorization for a drainage field review, awarding a weed-and-brush control contract, multiple tax and permit actions — and set a public hearing on the FY2026–27 proposed budget for April 27.
The Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors met in regular session March 30, 2026, and unanimously approved a series of routine administrative measures and scheduling actions.
Vice Chairman Carl Ginapp moved, and Supervisor Chris Watts seconded, to approve the day’s agenda and the minutes from the March 23, 2025 regular session; the motion passed unanimously. A public comment session was held, but the transcript does not record individual commenters or their topics.
Supervisor Chris Watts moved, with Ginapp seconding, to approve claims. The same pairing of Watts (mover) and Ginapp (second) also moved to approve the payroll register for the period ending March 21, 2026; both motions were recorded as passing unanimously.
The board authorized engineering firm Bolton + Menk to conduct a field review for Drainage District DD 113/123, citing Work Order Number 2026-03-27-01 and a standing-water problem reported by Marcus Younge. The motion to authorize the field review passed unanimously.
The board awarded the drainage district weed-and-brush control contract to B&W Control Specialists; that motion passed unanimously.
Ginapp moved, with Watts seconding, to set a public hearing on the FY2026–2027 proposed budget for April 27, 2026, at 10:05 a.m.; the motion passed unanimously.
The supervisors also took several property- and tax-related actions: they denied an Agland Credit appeal for parcel 14-35-400-014-00; approved an amendment to Assessment Year 2025 Family Farm Credit recommendations (the transcript records the amendment but does not detail the substance); and abated $54 in taxes on a mobile home with VIN AC5329F. All motions were approved unanimously.
The board approved dock permits 29P, 33P and 52P by unanimous vote. County Engineer Brandon Billings provided an update to the board during the meeting; the transcript notes the update occurred but does not include further detail.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:29 a.m. The board’s video recording and associated documents are available on the Cerro Gordo County website at www.cerrogordo.gov/supervisors/meetings_minutes.
