Supervisor reports on Little Sioux Park paving, new concession stand and gravel sourcing challenges
Summary
A supervisor reported new asphalt at Little Sioux Park, a well-received concession stand at the swim beach, reopened D38 secondary roadwork, and meetings with Bedrock and Laura Sievers about moving sand and accessing larger aggregate for county road projects.
Board member Mark reported that asphalt paving is complete at Little Sioux Park and praised the new concession stand at the swim beach as a popular addition. "The asphalt paving is done out there," he said, and described the entrance road work and resurfaced main roads that serve campsites. He noted the concession stand's visibility and reported strong use in its early weeks.
Mark also gave a technical update on gravel sourcing for county roads, saying county staff met with Laura Sievers and representatives from Bedrock about aggregate-washing operations and that the easiest rock deposits are being exhausted. He described options to move sand or sell it to reach better rock and said the county aims to lay a 6-inch base in resurfacing projects and to increase aggregate size for maintenance gravel. The board did not take a formal vote on park upgrades during this report.
