Cerro Gordo County Board adopts 35 mph limit on portions of 315th Street and Ulmus
Summary
On May 4, 2026, the Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 2026-25, setting a 35 mph speed limit on defined stretches of 315th Street and Ulmus; the motion passed unanimously under authority of Iowa Code Sections 321.255 and 321.285.
The Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors on May 4 adopted Resolution 2026-25 to establish a 35 mph speed limit in both directions on specified segments of county roads.
Vice Chairman Carl Ginapp moved to adopt the resolution and Supervisor Chris Watts seconded; the motion passed unanimously. Chairman Casey Callanan presided over the meeting, which began at 10:02 a.m.
The resolution, citing Iowa Code Sections 321.255 and 321.285 as authority, directs signage to be erected marking the new limit for a stretch beginning at the intersection of 315th Street and Vine (S62), west to the intersection of 315th and Ulmus, then north on Ulmus to the intersection with 320th Street. The board approved the change following an engineering and traffic investigation requested by Concerned Citizens and completed by the Cerro Gordo County Engineer, as stated in the record.
The board did not record an effective date in the minutes; the resolution directs that “appropriate signs be erected at the locations described,” which implies a near-term installation but the minutes do not specify timing or enforcement steps.
Under the statute citations listed in the minutes, county authorities may set speed limits based on engineering and traffic investigations; the board recorded the motion as unanimous (Ginapp Aye, Watts Aye, Callanan Aye).
