Calhoun County approves nutrient-reduction wetland permit, drainage work order and allows drainage claims
Summary
The board approved Underground Permit 3-2026 for construction of a nutrient reduction wetland, approved drainage district 197 work order C-05-2026, entered trustees for drainage to allow drainage claims, and reviewed general and drainage claims.
Nick Buse, Calhoun/Sac County Engineer, presented department updates and the board approved Underground Permit 3-2026 to Sara Smith (IDALS) on behalf of the Bevis Family Trust to construct a nutrient reduction wetland four miles north of Rockwell City crossing under Ogden Avenue; the motion carried on a vote recorded as 'ayes all' (motion by Cory Ridgely, seconded by Dave George).
Eric Yunginger, Buena Vista/Calhoun/Sac County Assistant Drainage Engineer, discussed drainage district 197 work order C-05-2026 and the board approved the work order (motion by Dave George, seconded by Cory Ridgely). The board then voted to enter Trustees for Calhoun County Drainage to consider drainage-specific business. While in trustees the board reviewed and allowed drainage claims checks 81620–81621 and stamped warrants 506020–506027; the board then came out of trustees.
Separately, the board reviewed and allowed general county claims checks 81543–81619 and bank drafts DFT0005765–DFT0005790 (motion by Cory Ridgely, seconded by Dave George; ayes all). The transcript lists individual claims line items in the record but does not sum a grand total in the meeting minutes.
The permit and drainage work order approvals were presented by county engineering staff; the record does not detail construction schedules, contractor names for the work order, or funding breakdowns for the projects.
