Kossuth and Palo Alto counties approve completion of Joint DD PAK 1 and authorize payment of damages
Summary
After an online public hearing and presentation of an engineer’s completion report by Jacobson Westergard, both Kossuth and Palo Alto boards approved completion of Joint Drainage District PAK 1 and directed the Auditor’s Office to pay damages as discussed and amended.
A public hearing on the Joint DD PAK 1 completion project was held online with Palo Alto County on Aug. 4, 2026. Collin Klingbeil of Jacobson Westergard presented the engineer’s completion report; additional landowner damages were submitted during the hearing.
Following the presentation, both counties moved and recorded votes to close the hearing and approve the completion. The boards directed the Auditor’s Office to pay damages as discussed and amended in the hearing record; the motion approving completion carried unanimously in both counties. The action finalizes the engineer’s work on the completion project and initiates payment as authorized in the hearing record.
Why it matters: approving completion and authorizing payment resolves outstanding damages and advances closure of the drainage project; affected landowners should consult county records for details on specific damage awards and payment schedules.
