Board accepts TSIP project, approves $50,000 reimbursement request for portable traffic-signal trailers
Summary
Jackson County accepted an FY26 TSIP award for portable traffic-signal trailers, confirmed they were received and tested, and approved acceptance needed to submit a $50,000 DOT reimbursement; the trailers will be shared across three counties with cost-splitting for amounts beyond the grant.
County engineering briefed the Jackson County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 5 that the county received FY26 TSIP-funded portable traffic-signal trailers, trained staff regionally, and deployed the trailers to verify timing and operation. Jaden said the county must accept the project so it can submit a reimbursement request to the Iowa Department of Transportation, which will reimburse up to $50,000.
"We actually deployed them last week just to make sure the timing sequence and everything was correct, and everything is working properly," Jaden said. He explained the trailers cost more than the grant amount and the remainder will be split among the three participating counties (Jackson, Cedar and Jones). The board moved to approve acceptance and authorized submission of the $50,000 reimbursement request.
Board members discussed operational sharing—each county will manage its trailer but coordinate use for seasonal highway patching and training; no intergovernmental agreement details were finalized at the meeting.
