The Franklin County Board of Supervisors on April 21 moved to table a resolution that would adopt the 2026–2027 Iowa DOT Secondary Roads Budget and Five‑Year Construction Program. The motion to table was made by Supervisor Lukensmeyer and seconded by Supervisor McVicker; the board voted unanimously to table the adoption.
The board also discussed an amendment to the 2025–2026 Secondary Roads Budget and the five‑year construction plan; the transcript records that the amendment "will be done prior to June 1st," but does not attribute that statement to a specific speaker. Jay Waddingham, the county's Secondary Roads Engineer, provided a department update for the board; the transcript summarizes the update without recording substantive project-by-project detail.
The supervisors recessed at 9:15 a.m. for a drainage meeting and reconvened at 9:30 a.m.; drainage minutes are available from the Auditor's office or on the county website. The transcript does not include further floor debate or a final adoption of the DOT budget during this session.
