Potential donation of land south of Kossuth County Fairgrounds discussed
Summary
Visitors outlined a possible donation of a tract owned by Don Tietz south of the fairgrounds in Cresco Township; board members and guests discussed recreational uses, public access and which parcels might be retained by the conservation board or the fair board; no decision was reached.
John Emswiler, Donna Kitzinger and Scott Schultze presented a proposal to the Kossuth County Conservation Board on Aug. 11 for a potential donation of land owned by Don Tietz south of the Kossuth County Fairgrounds in sections 11 and 14 of Cresco Township. Board members and the guests discussed recreational possibilities, public access and how the fair board currently uses parts of the property.
The visitors described the tract’s location and uses and asked the board to consider which portions of the property would be best suited for conservation purposes versus continued fair-board use. The meeting record does not show a formal motion, a vote or an agreement on next steps; the transcript notes that “no decisions were reached.”
The discussion centered on whether the land should be divided so the conservation board could manage parcels intended for passive recreation and natural resource protection while preserving areas the fair uses for operations. The board did not record a formal site plan or timeline for further action during the meeting.
Next steps were not specified in the meeting record. The board may conduct follow-up site reviews or request additional information from the property owner or the fair board before taking any formal action.
