Supervisors OK time capsule at courthouse lawn during Stoplight Festival

Tama County Board of Supervisors · June 1, 2026

Summary

Board granted permission for a 250th-anniversary time capsule to be placed on the courthouse lawn during the county's Stoplight Festival; volunteers said sidewalk and lamp restoration work is underway to accommodate the installation.

Volunteers and city contractors told the board they are finishing sidewalk and lighting work around the courthouse square ahead of a planned time capsule installation during the Stoplight Festival. A local representative said the concrete work and lamp installation should be completed by Wednesday and the group planned to place a plaque recognizing donors.

"We're finishing up the project this week," a volunteer said, describing the new brick and lampwork and a plaque that will acknowledge donors and partners. Supervisors asked logistical questions about timing and whether the city or county would need to close streets; city staff said they would likely manage any street-closure logistics.

The board moved and seconded a motion to permit the time capsule installation and the motion carried by voice vote. Supervisors encouraged the volunteers to coordinate with county maintenance staff on the precise placement and future access for the capsule.
