Conservation director: dam will be cut Sept. 5 to start controlled draining; Foster Center roof to be replaced
Summary
Conservation Director Tylor Nelson told the Poweshiek County Board the department will cut the lake dam on Sept. 5 to begin draining the lake at a controlled pace and plans to replace the Foster Center roof when weather allows; no formal board vote on these items is recorded in the minutes.
Tylor Nelson, Poweshiek County Conservation Director, told the Board of Supervisors that the county is scheduled to cut the lake dam on Sept. 5 to begin draining the lake "at a controlled pace." Nelson also reported that the county will replace the Foster Center roof when weather conditions permit.
Nelson presented these items during his monthly report; the minutes record them as departmental plans rather than motions requiring an immediate board vote. The transcript does not record the board taking separate formal action on either the dam cut schedule or the Foster Center roof replacement during the session.
The minutes do not provide additional operational details such as required permits, contractor selection, notified stakeholders or expected duration of the draining. Those particulars were not specified in the transcript and would require follow-up with Conservation Department staff or the county auditor's office.
The board adjourned at 9:38 a.m.; Supervisor Jason Roudabush noted he had an Iowa Workforce meeting later that day.
