The Adams County Board of Supervisors approved the DOT FY27 budget and a resolution adopting updated bridge ratings after a presentation from Engineer Kauffman.
Engineer Kauffman told the board that two posting adjustments were made and that several bridges (Quincy 4, Douglass 11, Prescott 24, Jasper 13) are legal. The board approved Resolution 2026-20 on bridge ratings by unanimous vote. Separately, the board approved the DOT FY27 budget on a unanimous vote.
Secondary Roads reported construction progress by Dixon Construction, which installed a north pier piling and is pouring the pile encasement; county staff added a safety action plan to the county website. The department updated its five-year plan to include replacing Carl 4 and added Grant 7 and Grant 8 while pushing back Washington 8. Staff said they plan to apply for a Safe Streets grant to fund improvements on Corning Carl Road and H34.
No specific project dollar amounts or grant request values were provided at the meeting. The board also approved a DOT utility permit for MidAmerican Energy during the same session. The board’s votes on staffing, budget and ratings were unanimous; implementation steps will follow through county engineering and Secondary Roads administration.
