At its regular meeting the Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors took several formal actions summarized below.
Approved: agenda and minutes; claims presented; and payroll for the period ending March 21, 2026.
Investigate drainage: the board voted to have the watchman investigate a recurring drainage problem in Joint Drainage District 113 after members discussed prior jetting under the railroad culvert.
Contract award: the board accepted the auditor's recommendation and approved the low bid from B&W Control Specialists for private weed control in the county's southern district; insurance and prior work were noted.
Budget hearing: a public hearing on the proposed county budget was set for April 27, 2026 at 10:05 a.m.
Agricultural credit appeal: the board denied an appeal of an agricultural land-credit denial after staff concluded the parcel measured below the required 10 acres following a split.
Family-farm credits: the board moved to amend recommended assessments for several family-farm credit cases (staff said these credits are handled by the county assessor's office and timelines vary).
Tax abatement: the county treasurer requested, and the board approved, an abatement of $54.
Permits: three dock permits were reviewed and approved (locations noted in staff packet).
Adjournment: the meeting concluded after a brief public question about bicycle signage; staff will follow up.
Votes: Most motions were approved on voice votes; the transcript records affirmative "aye" responses but not roll-call tallies with member names.
